Almost 2 weeks on the road...

We are still in South Carolina. It's really beautiful here.

This is a picture Robin took one morning from Robin's parents house.
On Wednesday, our friend Cole came to visit us during lunch. He just moved away from Florida about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is on his way to New York City. It was good to see him again. The kids loved seeing him, too

Liam is as cute as he can be...


We had to get a group photo before Cole left. He only got to stay for a couple of hours.

That night, we shared at Calvary Chapel Lexington.

I was really blessed to get to lead the worship. I really love doing worship. It's a special thing for me. Then, we showed the slideshow about Peru, and Robin got to do the teaching.

Thanks, Calvary Lexington for letting us share with you guys!

On Thursday, we drove about 40 minutes away to meet up with the pastor of Calvary Chapel Aiken. We had lunch with pastor Bob Laube and his wife. It was great to just sit and talk for about an hour about how we ended up being called to go to Peru.


Pastor Bob Laube and Robin. We didn't think of pulling out the camera until after his wife had already left. Thanks for being so welcoming.

After lunch on Thursday, we headed back over to Calvary Lexington to pick up some things. While we were there, we got a picture of one of the skateboards that has the overall story of the Bible on it. I don't really know what all the symbols stand for, but I thought it was a really cool idea.


We also needed to make a template of some of the skate ramps for another church in Kentucky that we are going to be visiting. All we could find was some wrapping paper to make the template with... merry christmas!


They have a really awesome skate park behind where the youth meets. It's a great outreach tool.
This is our friend, Daniel, that we met from Calvary Lexington... just kidding. He was out when we went to make the templates, so we had to find something goofy in his office to take his place, since we never got a picture of him. Then, we found this picture of Daniel and his wife, Sarah. We just couldn't resist taking a picture with them. Yes, if you don't know already, we are pretty silly sometimes...



This is a beautiful tree that is blooming all over the area here. It's some kind of a pear tree. But, pears don't grow on it. It's really pretty, anyways.

On Thursday it was my birthday. I turned 30. The kids "secretly" made me a cake. It was awesome, with it's big old crooked smile.

Tomorrow is Saturday. We will have been on the road for 2 weeks. We are leaving and heading to North Carolina. We are going to be staying with a few different friends. We'll be there for about the next 2 weeks. Please pray for us. Our house in Florida needs to sell, and very few people are looking to buy in Florida right now. Pray with us that this weekend will have some lookers.

Thank you for keeping updated with us. If you want to be emailed when I update the blog, just email me at trshelley@gmail.com or leave a comment on the blog with your email address.
