Tonight, I had the pleasure of addressing the Meridianville congregation about my upcoming trip to New Zealand. As I spoke I saw a lot of people interested in what I had to say about the work I will be doing in New Zealand. I was told afterwards, by a couple of Elders that they liked what I said and hoped that it would translate into more funds for me before I go.
I also had some other news about the trip, I found out that I will be teaching the Wednesday night Adult bible class and will be helping with the youth activities while I am there. I leave on May 9th and will come back on June 28th. This will not be an easy thing as I will be leaving my wife and son for 2 months. I pray that the Lord will give me strength to go on and to endure the ache of not being near my wife and son. I wish only to focus on doing the Lord's work while I am there.
During the time between now and I leave I will be working on getting my stuff packed and getting things ready to leave. That is all I have for now. I will post one more update at least before I leave.

Update One
Hello, everyone I normally don't do these blogs, I just tell Angel what I news I have and tell her to put it in. Well, anyways, so far this trip is coming together nicely. I have already bought my plane tickets and I will be leaving Monday May 9th, at 6:10 pm from Nashville, TN. I will have a two layovers in both Los Angles and Melbourne, Australia before I arrive in Wellington, New Zealand on May 11th (it will still be Tuesday for you guys). I have talked with the missionary over there, and we have worked out for me to teach 1 and 2 Peter and Jude at the Wednesday Night Adult Bible class that they have in New Zealand. I will also be preaching some Sundays and doing whatever the missionary needs for me to do. I then return on June 28th from Wellington, NZ to Auckland, NZ to LA to Nashville where I will reunite with my waiting wife and son and family. This will be the best birthday present ever, after being away from my family for so long.
Some, of you may be asking what I am doing to prepare myself for the trip? Well, first I have done some research that I will study while en route to New Zealand. This stuff will include material that my Dad has put together for me, and other things that I have put together myself. I am also preparing for my lessons while there in New Zealand.
I don't know of anything else to say other than I ask for everyone's prayer. I hope while I am gone that nothing goes wrong.
In the meantime, God Bless Everyone and I love yall.
