First of all there have been a lot of things happening lately, so Chris and I have been very busy. I wanted to thank everyone who prayed for my nephew Easton. He seems to be doing much better after a short stay in the hospital, he is going to be seeing a specialist at Riley sometime soon hopefully. Second, I got another job and had a very interesting day today. I am still going to be working as a nurse but I thought why not get a fun job that does not have anything to do with death. I work at a Golf/Safari place. It is so fun, my job consists of teaching foreigners, with the little Spanish I speak how to play put putt; and about our 25 alligators. Yeah, I know most people don't see me taking care of alligators, but I usually do not have to be around them I just teach people about them and show them how to feed them. Until today that was pretty much all I did. Today a young kid was feeding an alligator and the alligator decided to swallow the entire feeding string that is attached to a stick. I freaked out and called the manager and he said just hold on to the stick as tight as you can and I will be right there. So I was a little scared at this moment but I was trying to hold it in around all the kids you know. So the alligator decided he wanted to try to pull me into the pin, I did not like that idea so I pulled back. I really did not want to go into the pin with 25 alligators so I pulled really hard on the stick and all the string the alligator stupidly swallowed started coming back up. The alligator started choking and finally I managed to pull the string and pole out of the alligators mouth. Once my manager came I told him I was done with the alligators I am sticking to the golf, he laughed at me and told me I still have to teach about the gators. I still love my job!!!
Third of all Chris and I are still searching for a church. It seems hard around this area because many of the churches are Baptist or Catholic. We are praying about it please be in prayer for us. Although we have not been able to find a church we are still growing in the Lord.
One of the most amazing spiritual things I have ever been through occured last night. Chris and I were in bed and I was quietly saying my nightly prayer. All the sudden God said to me speak in tongues and I said to God but I only have a few words, he said "Speak" I had my eyes closed and was speaking the words that were coming to me just to God and not out loud, God said "keep going". Something started happening, I was fully into concentrating in a spiritual mind and I felt a bad presence enter the room, God said "keep speaking." I usually get scared of these types of feelings and give in but I kept praying and the room continued to get heavier and all of the sudden I did not understand it but with my eyes closed I was showed an image of a demon. I have a fear of seeing demons but at this moment I was not afraid at all I was so in tune with God more than ever, that all I could focus on and all I wanted to was God. God said "Do not be afraid, Keep speaking." I continued to pray the only words I could and God became so present that I felt His presence in front of me and the demon just disappeared. After that God said "Wake Chris and pray together." I thought "God has brought me through the worst fear in my life I better listen." So I woke Chris and we prayed, and then talked about what had just happened. I can't explain everything and do not fully understand it all, but I do know this was one of the closest experiences I have ever had with God, and I loved it. He taught me that I don't need to be afraid because he is my Father. It also taught me not to doubt and try to figure out everything in life. I have been so upset that I have not been able to speak more than a few words in tongues but God showed me the words I spoke do mean something and are important for some reason so hold them dear.
OK so I had much to say in this post but thanks for reading and keep Chris and I in your prayers.

Vegas looks angry in this picture.
OH MY SIBLINGS, I DO MISS YOU SO! I'm so excited about your new job Becca, and I was wondering if you could teach me how to play put putt and about the alligators when I come for spring break? All I ask is that you don't go diving with any sting rays. And that is super cool about you growing in your tongues. I love you guys so much and miss playing apples to apples with you! (and sharing the love of ping with my sis)
oh, and by the way, I MISS MY PRECIOUS POOPSIE (godson)! how is he doing? i think he's actually getting cuter, does he know any tricks? and how is he liking the beaches and ocean?
I well remember how the Lord revealed his lordship to me in a similar way 30 years ago. I was 21 and it stays with me! He is so good! I love you, Cheryl
