I had an early morning today!  Got up around 6am and took Ashley to the airport.  She’s flying to Austin to spend a couple of weeks with my parents.

My niece Olivia is getting married tomorrow, which is also my 50th birthday!

Ashley just gets more beautiful every day!

From the airport I went to the North American Mission Board where I did my seminar called the “5 Levels of Engagement.” 

I talk to the missionary candidates about how to raise up volunteers. The new missionaries were great!

We had over 1,000 volunteers this week serving in 32 locations!  Today I also worked with FBC Venice, FL.  We hosted a block party at Huntington Station.  It was also the opening of their pool.  The team was very enthusiastic and they really helped the kids have a great time!

Today we started moving back into our house!  It doesn’t seem real.  We’ve been out of our house since February 19th–over four months now.  We still need to get the beds squared away.  Those were all destroyed in the fire.

Love you guys!
