I'm feeling a little tired after this past week. Not like you're probably thinking though. It is a good kind of tired. I am so happy that this week went so good. God is truly awesome the way he works, and I'm so glad to have made new friends as well as renewed friendships with my old ones. And of course it was great to see my little sisters again. God truly blesses me with everything HE does and once again He did it with the Carpenters for Christ. The trip renews my spirit and brings me closer to God. I want to thank everyone who came because you blessed me. You made a difference this week in God's kingdom and I hope that you feel the same blessing that you brought with you. I personnally want to thank everyone who worked with me, you made me a better person just for knowing you. I made some wonderful friendships and I hope you will not forget the time we spent together. And as you go on with your lives remember the times we shared as well as to tell everyone you can about Jesus. Carpenters for Christ continues to grow because of the most important gift that God has given to us and that is Willingness. If you are willing God takes care of the rest. Thank you for being willing and being a friend to me or as ya'll may know me YOUR BROTHER. You ARE and ALWAYS will be FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL and can't wait to see you again soon. God bless!!!!

Hey Big Brother!
After we got home I couldn't help but cry. I feel as though part of me is still Louisiana. I already miss you all so much and just so you know! I really meant what I said Thursday night about how if the Lord ever wanted to me move out there, there would be no questions asked b/c, yes I would be leaving home, but I would just be traveling to another home!
How I wish I could be there to help finish the building!
Love and miss you all!!!
Oh Ru! Thank you so much for working with me! I had soooo much fun! In the room on the far left hand corner there are some messages on the sheet rock for you... if you haven't gotten them already... I think my hat is in one of those rooms... inside the wall *laughs*
Oh my goodness! I kept telling the story about Cody... the last time I told it was the only time I didn't cry! That was the most touching thing I have ever seen in my entire life! It takes a real man to be willing to get up there... in front of people he had never met! And just break down crying like that. I'm going to post on my blog and tell the story again, for all to see and read... (but... ha ha ha! The only people that read my blog were either there, or have heard the story already!) Least ways... I'm still going to post it on there... I'll bet no one has a picture of it! Well what ever...
It is 12:22!!!!!! What I am I doing? I keep writing letters and listening to Amazing Grace and commenting on blogs and.... I really need to go to bed! Well... thank you again for taking off to work with us! Funny fact, when I saw you the very first time, I had never seen you before, ok, I had seen like three pictures but, you were wearing sunglasses any how... I knew exactly who you were! Isn't that crazy! Well... I guess I would recognize my brother as soon as I see him! And you are the best big brother in the world! Thanks for coming to work with us! (will I ever stop talking?)
Little sis,

P.S. I still like Georgia better than L.S.U.... and no matter how hard you try... my blood will always run red and black bro!
*12:30 now! lol!

I'm so glad that the girls worked with you and Brianna and Nicole and Brailyn! They really had a wonderful week.
I like your long hair! Makes you look right han'some!
I'm thankful that the girls have a big brother like you.
Love you!
I'm thankful for knowing you, Ru. All of you from Live Oak are obviously a big extended family, and I don't know many churches that are TRULY like that. I've been to a LOT of churches before, too...
I expected to lose weight, as did other people, but you guys fed us so well that nothing really changed there. :-p
Anyways, Ru, thanks for being so nice and friendly. I may not have worked or talked to you as much as other people did, but that doesn't matter. I know that you're a true friend. :-)
CAN'T WAIT 'til next year!!!
Please tell Brailyn that I miss her. :-)
Ru,
Thank you so much (and to the rest of Live Oak) for welcoming us in such a warm way. That has to be my new favorite place. The support and love that you and the other members of that church share is unbelievable. I truely enjoyed every minute of the trip, EVEN when you were winning Ultimate. I miss Denham Springs and Live Oak alot and can't wait to come back. It was hard to leave this year, harder than years in the past. Tell Brailyn that I love the new hair cut, she looks very grown up:)
