San Antonio- Week 2

Praise the Lord for the work He does in us and through us because the canvassing work. I know other programs have been blessed and I have seen some interesting pictures of experiences. Here are a few of my own with additional random things.

I have a few more additions to my door picture collection. First time I have seen two eye holes... At the same level
 Needless to say we were in a very wealthy area, This was a nice little pool area with its own litle house.
 This is the house of the second lady to give me a generous donation. I had by far my highest donations, and all on a Sunday doing houses.
 Honestly, most of the houses in this neighborhood where to big to get in one shot from the street.
 The door looked pretty cool, I totally dig the middle nob thing. It was a very old victorian style mansion. They got two books.
Wasn't home, but I thought it reminded me of a castle dungeon.
 I appreciate that they didn't leave me without instruction. I like directions, otherwise I probably would have just rung neither and just knocked.
 They thought this tree was cool enough to build around, so its cool enough for a picture.
 April's late birthday party, Lime avocado pie/pudding. :) It was pretty awesome.
 One of the 6 missions along the San Antonio river... I thought it was a cool picture lol
This place is honestly like 20 minutes walking behind our rental house.
The whole place was nice, it was a simple tour, not much to see really.
 Some people were tired, even though we didnt do anything hardly.
 Old stuff, history makes me wonder all what took place, and what kind of people were here before me.
 Tree that preferred growing in all directions.
 Took this pic as I was running to leave the park, stopped took pic, kept running.
So after the historical site everyone went home, But Isaac, Steven, and I wanted to explore more. And we found a cool spot down the river.
 Practicing Selfies... I hate them but I love them, it takes me like a thousand tries to get a decent one. Done with front camera.
 Done with rear camera. and facing away from sun lol
 Found a river monster :D
 He swims like a floppy noodle, pretty entertaining.
 We all took turns posing on this rock
All in all I am glad I went out of my way to come here, and we made it back in time for vespers, with five minutes to get ready...
 For Sabbath we went to a wilderness park with awesome trails for running. Wish I could go there to run the entire thing a few times.
 The girls were leading the pack
 We unintentionally split into like 3 groups along the trail, but no one got lost, it wasn't a complicated trail thankfully.
The graded the trails by level difficulties. We got a kick out of there example of the most difficult trail, which was level 4. They have high expectations for people in wheelchairs.


I hope every other canvasser is having fun in their respective programs, Can't wait for Pathways to Health to start and see everyone, Until then, Blessings!

Valdosta Canvassing (Pictures)


I was hoping to get some pictures from other people. But it didn't happen fast enough, and it felt weird waiting any longer. So here you go... I wish I had taken more pictures myself, but thats why I don't like relying on getting others to send me theirs.

Anyways, heres my random pictures from Valdosta. Enjoy :)


Sweet trike thing I saw while canvassing, looked super intimidating and I was kind overwhelmed by it.
Wasn't a whole lot of really nice neighborhoods, but I really liked the trees in this particular place. I know this isn't a cherry blossom but it reminded me of how much I want to go to Japan.
Awesomely big tree I really wanted to climb... But thats not proper while canvasssing. But man, if that was my yard, I would have probably built my house in the tree :D

Waited so long at this door and just stared at it... I have an assortment of interesting door pictures now (unplanned).
This was Quitman, GA. Looked alot for aethetically pleasing in real life. the rows of things leading to the fancy building was pretty cool. Thankfully like no one lives in this town, so I could just stand in the street and take a few pictures.

Our last day canvassing team. If you can see, there are a bunch of students from like 9-14 yo. We gave them training everyday as part of there school time at the academy, and the ended up all coming out with us for a few hours on the last friday. There was 12 of them.

The little guy in the red hoodie was adorable. His name was Hestor. I put my canvassing bag on him and it almost touched the floor. :) His and the boy next to him, Preston, where my first canvassing buddies that day, and they did awesomely, Hestor would run ahead of us and ring the doorbell and Preston would canvass them until the invited us inside or something. Worked well, wish I had them around the whole program.




This is Koran. And his new books we gave him at the church. Johnny canvassed him and while attending church with us for two Sabbaths he became like a brother to us and probably would have jumped in the van and came with us if circumstances permitted. Pray for him, he is an earnest seeker for truth and will be a targeted by evil for sure.


On our way back, we took the scenic route. And we decided to stop by the USS Alabama. The team was excited, though I had been here before when I lived in Biloxi, MS. I proceed to give military history lessons and explain how tanks and planes and other vehicles where used.

Enjoying the nice day in front of the ship.
Decided to have an awesome meal on the way back, this was Johnny's amazing, totally awesome idea for dessert. Coconut milk ice cream and honey almond granola.

Had to get a picture with the inventor.

Then he displayed how he came up with the invention. BTW it tasted pretty fantastic :D


Valdosta canvassing program went by so fast, but so slow. It was a massive blessing and I can't wait to see how the Lord works on growing the many seeds we planted.
