| I get to go see Amy Lynn tommorow I'm pretty excited and I get to spend a whole weekend with her. YEAH!!! Mr. Garland said it would be good because I wouldn't be as grouchy after that :) I was really encouraged yesterday as I was working out (hard to believe I know) But there were these two other guys who were there and before they worked out they were encouraging eachother in their walk with the Lord and I was like wow this is how it should be with everyone. I am so thankful to be at WOL. As I speak with others who have left WOL they have expressed that they miss the the way that everyone is transparent and seeking the Lord here and I often wonder why that is but I realize that it's because we are immersed in the Word of God on a daily basis and honestly if we have everything taken care of with God we can be transparent because we don't need to impress others, imagine what it would be if the church was aflame and was honest and open about their struggles wow I can't even imagine. I pray that the Lord would snd Revival to our land because He's done it before He an do it again. |

| Dear Friends I hope you are doing well. I am currently living in Pottersville NY working for WOL as an intern with Gospel Productions/ Island camp. I am really enjoying that. I am learning a lot about publication/ graphic/ layout design. I am very ready to get married!! My advice is to never have a long engagement EVER!!!!! It’s been hard but stretching to be separated from Amy Lynn by many miles as she is studying at ABC in WV. I get to go visit her at the end of October and I am so excited about that. I will be going to NJ next weekend so pray for me as I drive there oh man I hate high traffic areas!!! Oh well Jesus will be with me. I hope everything with you is going well. |

| Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I have some big news to share. As of yesterday afternnon my girlfriend Amy and I are now engaged to be married. I asked her to marry me at Plimoth Plantation on a park bench it was quite nerve wracking ( I was shaking a lot!!!!) Then we went to Boston and went on a dinner cruise on Boston Harbor it was very nice :). We had a very enjoyable time and a very nice dance on the back of the boat by ourselves away from the people who were obviously going through a mid life crisis by the way they were dancing( CRAZY FOLKS) Anyways always use mapquest not google maps! and Boston has no signs for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! Well I hope you are doing well and have a great day. Michael & Amy |

| Portugal was so beautiful here is a picture of Obidous a walled city it was so neat to walk around the cities walls and explore. 
This next picture was in Balise it is a church and also the naval museum it was neat to go inside of it and see the beautiful architecture and paintings. 
This is Amy and I on a side street in Obidous, we really enjoyed walking around the place with Elizabeth and Heather. 
This is my friend Rafael he is a university student I met at the storm event, it was so neat to meet so many young people who were in love with Jesus. 
I have many other pics but thats all I have time for right now. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Michael |

| I had such a great time in Portugal. I really had a tough time saying goodbye to the friends I made, it was truly tough. But it is nice to be back. I think back through the days I spent in Portugal I will remember a people that were so nice and friendly and truly appreciated what we did, it made all the difference in the world going into the whole trip that they wanted and appreciated what we were doing. I loved it and miss it. The thing that was the most touching wa at the final service at the Ledership Development Conference when two groups san\g songs to honor us was so touching they sang Amazing Love in Portugese and This is My Desire in Portugese and English I was just broken that they were so appreciative of the work we did among and with them and it seemed so small to me. I will make an effort to show appreciation for what people do for me. |
