A lot can happen in a year! Since my last post, I've come home (again) from Africa, begun working two full-time jobs (Living Word Christian Store at night and Target in the mornings), and taken a mission trip to the Amazon (view pics by clicking Here. Basically, it's been a normal year:)

     Enough about me- the major events of my life this year have involved my immediate family. You may be asking yourself "What's different looking about Evan in this picture?", or "whose that guy with his sister?" Well, my little sister Jenny is ENGAGED!!! She and her fiance Eric (who I surprisingly like a ton and admire- don't tell him yet) met while on a crazy, 11 countries in 11 months mission trip through THIS ministry. I'm so happy for them and can't wait to see what God has in store for this amazing team!

     Believe it or not, my brother Craig is finished with school...for now, at least:) Since his college career began (seven years ago), he has endured countless hours in the library, mental-crushing exams, and unmentionable parties:) I was so fortunate to be at his graduation from Law School at the University of Florida. He's gonna be a lawyer!!! (no jokes please- you may need his services one day). Needless to say, I'm extemely proud of him and his accomplishments.

     Our family restaurant, Island Time Grill, is still alive and well (Praise God). I definitely miss the people and atmosphere, but the restaurant 'lifestyle' is still not for me. As for Island Ministries, the Lord still has not let me allow the vision to fade- It is my goal to always be involved with missions in some form or another. May He continue to guide me on the path whose end only He can see.
