My last post in Mobile, AL

So this is bittersweet.  It will be nice to go home but I dont want to leave.  How often do we get to not worry about money and rent and gas and income and food and just get to serve God.  Now lets be honest we could do that all the time but its hard.  But that's what the last 7 weeks of my life were.  No worries just serving God.  It was so amazing.  Our campaign groups this past week have been amazing.  Thursday we went and joined them on their day off for Lamberts and for singing on the beach.  The beach singing was so cool because we had a family come over and just stand there and listen and hold to each other and it was soooo cool to see them do that.  This past group was pretty amazing and i just connected to them so well.  They were very effective in their methods and they had a great love for the kids and the work they were there to do.  This was an older group which was actually a big advantage. 

Friday Julia, Becca, and I along with three Beasley kids went to the beach.  Me and Charleston and Jacoby all got "Fly like a G6" tee shirts.  Its from a song if you don't know.  I got sunburned on my back even though i put on sunscreen.  Its peeling like crazy now but its all good.  That was a really fun day. Me and Julia and Becca went to dinner with Jared and Rachael after we got back and we which was really good.

Saturday was a easy day.  Julia and Rebecca moved.  They were staying at an extended stay motel and they moved to another cheaper but better one.  I worked on my sermon.  Our boys planned their VBS for this coming week.  I'm so proud of them for wanting to take the initiative to do this and they are so excited about it.  I lost the keys to mine and Jared's apartment and after 3 hours and deciding we'd just sleep at the church building for the night i found the keys.  I went then and checked out Becca and Julia's new place.  It was smaller but nicer i felt.  The area was much nicer.

Sunday was AMAZING!!!  I got to preach Sunday morning for my last Sunday here.  We had two ladies respond and were baptized that morning.  I got the privilege and honor to baptize Janet and Catrina who i have spoke so much about!!! I was so excited for her.  4 dunked in one week.  Can't ask for much more.  Sunday afternoon was really cool too.  so Julia and Becca went to Creekwood COC and found a family to take them in so they left the extended stay motel they had moved to and moved in with them.  Hopefully they wont have to move again but I'm confident this will work.  They really like this family.

Today for the fourth I got to do what i have been wanting to do ever since I came down.   Go take loads of photos.  This day could not have been possible without Julia and Becca.  We went to downtown Mobile and took pictures all over.  If your my friend on FB you can check them out.  Otherwise i will put one or two below.  After that we went to Catrina and Delvins for the Fourth and we ate and ate and ate some more. And we swam and played football and volleyball and had a waterballoon fight and played spades.  A great way to spend my last day here.

Leaving will be hard but I will never forget this place or the people i have met.  Its been amazing and life changing and awesome and wild and exciting and fun and that's the way following Jesus should be.  I probably will keep talking about adventures on here so if you wanna keep following that would be cool.  Thank you to everyone who followed and read.  I love you all and I am gonna miss it. 

Love,
Cary
