2/28/12                                                                                                                                   Hey again!

We’ve been so busy! Sunday morning we went to First Baptist of Coleman. Dad sang ‘You Live’, a song that he wrote. Everyone loved it. After that, we went to the Sunday evening service at Fort Cooper Baptist Church. Abigail and I took Elijah to the nursery and Mom and Dad listened to missionary Steven Heidenreich.

I am getting ready for the Georgia Youth Birding Competition. I can’t wait! I’m also trying to finish my drawing for the T-shirt Contest. It is almost finished.

I am very excited that a volunteer group at the Jungle School has started drying in the  house we will be living in. We will be living on the school’s campus! I can’t wait until August when we will be in Ecuador. There are more birds in two acres of the rain forest there than in all of North America. That is a lot of birds.

Hola!

I am very excited to be starting this blog! I don’t know how often I’ll be able to update it though, because there is no internet connection where we are staying. We’re in Floral City, F.L. And it is already pretty hot here.                                                                                          

We are on a canal, so I’m seeing plenty of birds. Great Blue Herons, Ibises, Great White Egrets, Black & White Warblers,  an Osprey, and a Red Shouldered Hawk that likes to sit and watch us play.                                               

We have been visiting different churches. Sometimes Daddy gets to sing. It is hard going into a different church every week because I don’t know or remember any of the people. 

I am excited about going to serve in Ecuador soon – I’ve always said that I wanted to be a missionary. I’m also a little nervous, but I know that God will help me through it. Spanish is hard but it can be kinda fun. Sometimes.

I hope I can update you with everything that has been going on.

So All May Know,
