Hey all!
Well here is a through update on what's been going on lately.
I went home for Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, to the surprise of everyone. I told a white lie and said I was not going to make it home. Much to the delight of my mother, I showed up! It was great being home and I got to see a lot of friends and most family. It was a true joy. And maybe the best part... I get to go home again next week!
I head home next friday and I'll be home until the 28th of December! Let me know if you'd like to get together, I'd love to catch up with as many of you as possible!
Lately things have been going great here at SharpTop. We are all getting into the Christmas spirit, full of lights and Christmas tunes.
Along with that our flag football team is doing really well! We are 4-1. Yes, we suffered our first defeat this week. It was drama filled, a hail mary caught at the one yard line with 1 second to go and a last play failure, led to our first loss. But we are still in good shape and good spirits!
My job is going well too. The kitchen has grown on me and I really enjoy my time there, especially because it is freezing here at camp and I am inside all day. As I sit here, it is currently 23 degrees. Not exactly what most think of when they consider I'm living in Georgia, but yes it's down right cold.
Another big piece of news is that we, as an intern class, are headed to Nicaragua in February for a missions trip. YoungLife owns a camp there and we, as a group, are going to help out for a week. We are all really excited about it. It will break up the cold winter quite well and be a great chance to view what this ministry looks like outside this wonderful country we live in now.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Hope all is well and you all have a great holiday!
Mike O.
