First Days in Tampa

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. :)

My parents got to come down for the weekend. Here's us with an impressive bush bull!

Ybor city downtown--a long history of cultural mixture and cigar making. Spanish people were here! Made me happy. 

Me with the wonderful folks I'm working with: Jeff, the campus minister, and his wife Jenny. They are the best. Really.

Me and Mom with some true Florida behind us. :)

This week is a wonderful busy. I'll be baking cookies to pass out tomorrow with Jenny, as well as wandering around campus to see if I can get my barings. This place is BIG! Wednesday we'll be helping freshmen move in, Friday we have a pancake party for current RUF students, and Sunday we have a cookout in a quad near freshmen dorms. In between it all, I'll be passing out lots of postcards on campus, meeting tons of students, and trying to remember (at least most) of their names! I appreciate your prayers and hope you're doing well!
