Welcome to Okeechobee! Here I am in the land of Florida. I spent about two days in Fort Lauderdale before heading up to Okee-land! I have:
-been to my first Florida, Day Workers Rodeo
-seen an alligator
-chased a sea gull for one of its feathers
-eaten fried catfish
-passed Dark Hammock Ranch a dozen times
I haven't:
-slept more than six hours per night
-been able to get reception from my house
-bought a one-of-a-kind Okeechobee alligator shirt (but Erin says I'll get one before I leave)
-tried the alligator tail or frog legs...yet
-ridden a horse yet, but I want to!
Things are definitely different than the Bahamas, or Brazil, and I have to admit that it is taking a little getting used to. I am officially named on staff, and right now my job is mainly curriculum.
Pray: -for health for everyone. (there's been some nasty stuff going around including strep throat)
-that the students and staff would finish out strong; we have a little over two weeks left.
-that the staff would be unified even though they are spread out.
-that the Holy Spirit would do a mighty work in all of us.
-for the future of Patmos. A lot of changes may be taking place. Pray for peace and joy and wisdom.
