Mission Trip Update

Only one meeting left before we leave for Samoa on the 24th. A lot has happened since our last meeting.

A container is being shipped to Samoa in the next couple of days. Within this container is a ton of stuff that has been donated to the kids in Samoa. A few things that have been donated are: Various pairs of shoes, football equipment from some of the local high schools, and 40 brand new pairs of cleats (Thanks to Ryne, and Nashville Sporting Goods). I am sure their is some more things, but that is all I am for sure on.

Also found out that the position coach I was going to be working with in Samoa is not going to be able to make the trip. It is somewhat upsetting that someone will not be going on the trip, but then again I am excited about the challenge in front of me. I will more than likely be taking on the position I will be coaching by myself. It might be my first year, but I can't wait to see what God is going to do with that situation. Not necessarily for the kids in my group, but what He is going to do with me personally and spiritually.

Can't wait, wish we were flying out tomorrow!!!

Random

The past couple of weeks have been utterly random for me. Since my weeks have been random so have my thoughts. This is the main reason you haven't seen anything in a while.

Mission Trip Update:

Had another meeting this week. Our meetings continue to be a blessing and learning experience for me.

High/Low for the Week

I think this is going to be something I try to do every week. We use to do this in college, and I always enjoyed it. I figured a couple of you guys might enjoy it also.

High: I know it's two weeks late, but mine has to do with Mother's Day. The day was great, but an event happened that day that I didn't even realize until my brother made mention of it. We sat down and ate dinner that night, and it was just the family. Mom, Dad, Heather, Stetson, and me. It has been forever since we have sit down and had a meal with just the family. Not to say any additions to our family (past, present, or future) haven't been a blessing, but it was just kind of neat. Just brought back old memories.

Low: Don't necessarily have an overwhelming low, but if I had to have one I could probably say work. Not that I hate my job, but who honestly loves their job everyday.

Thanks

Also wanted to drop a note to say thanks to the comments people have posted. In particular the phrase 'Trevor's Brother'. This has and will always be a timeless phrase. Thanks to a random night, and to a random encounter with my girlfriend from kindergarten, and to Josh who loves saying this any time he gets a chance. Hilarious.
Thanks, and God bless.

Mission Trip to American Samoa

One word can describe my feelings about this mission trip 'pumped'. I have wanted to go on one for a while, and I have been trying to go on this specific mission trip for the past two years. Needless to say, I am long overdue, and this has added to my anticipation.

Where:
As I mentioned above we will be going to American Samoa. We fly out June 24th.

The Mission:
We will be in American Samoa for about a week, conducting football camps for high school, and middle school age kids. Throughout the day we will also be having huddle groups where we will share God's word, along with our own personal faith.

Blessings:
-Having the opportunity to go on a trip like this.
-Going with the group of people I am going with.
-The opportunity to grow both spiritually and emotionally.

That's about all I have for now. I'll have another update after our next meeting.

Please pray for our group, and our trip.

God Bless
