Where to start? John is a seminary student at Southeastern Baptist and lives in Raleigh North Carolina. John and I started our friendship from working Centri-Kid summer of 2008. John was the camp speaker among other duties he acquired at camp. I was a Bible Study leader, ran the sound board sometimes, and camp photographer. We served our team and eachother from May 28th to Aug 3rd. During this time John wrote in a journal his thoughts and prayers for our relationship to grow or be consumed if it was not our Lord and Savior's desire. He gave me this journal after camp ended. And asked me if I would like to start a relationship and open up my heart to get to know him better. Jesus is still the center of all of our conversations and I love hearing how God is growing, molding, and teaching him daily. I thank my Jesus he is such a stable friend and a humble leader in everything the Lord sets before him.
I met his sister and brother-in-law at California Baptist University and have since met his mother, grandmother and dog, on Skype.
