Clint and the Wingate boys at the Summer Beach Project in Myrtle Beach,  SC

Our summer was VERY busy but so amazing!  We started the summer as we usually do, serving at our Summer Beach Project.  This is one of our favorite times of the year as we get to watch the Lord changes the lives of the students we have grown to love by using the non-stop schedule, unique fellowship, and intense focus on God's word that the SBP is known for.  Our lives were so radically transformed as students on the SBP, and so each summer brings new anticipation to see just what God will do.  

Shortly after leaving the SBP, we took a "Babymoon" to the Bahamas!  We loved the cruise and scenery, but there was a new sense of enjoyment as we embarked on hours of snorkeling in Cococay!  We have agreed that we could snorkel every day and never get tired of it!  Now we are wishing all the more that Myrtle Beach's waters weren't so....brown.

After returning to our home for a short 4 days we set out to visit some friends in Philadelphia PA.  We had so much fun enjoying the 4th of July festivities (see above parade pic), meeting new friends, and enjoying old ones.  The Lord really did a lot in our hearts while we were there and set us up for a few months of prayer and seeking His will for our future!

Though we love adventure and travel, Wingate starting looking pretty appealing after our late summer return to the SBP.  We are happily home and enjoying the very slow, quiet life that this little college town offers!
