randomness at 2am...

for what reason do three bachelors stay up til 2am? i have no idea... but here we are, all on our computers, peckin away at our keyboards and surfing the web. and where did that phrase come from? ill tell ya, ive surfed before...and there aint no water coming outta my computer right now.
we've had quite an exciting couple of days. we've made some awesome friends in our apartment complex and at two local churches.
this morning we visited watermark, in the scary part of tampa. at least, i was scared. there are some legit dudes at watermark, for real. much love to them for not shying around our Father's Word. they exposed the text and revealed some powerful stuff today. i was majorly impressed.
this evening we were able to enjoy late night at temple terrace. again, awesome opportunity to meet some really great people! and the music, forget about it. im not even from new york, but i say 'forget about it'... its the lack of sleep i think.
pray for us. please, continually be in prayer. we rely on God daily for everything from provisions for our apartment to our ability make great connections. God has shown up left and right. and His faithfulness is beyond reasoning. we remain in awe of our Great Father.

speedys recommendation: Seinfeld. Season 3. Disc 3. Episode 14. Watch it, love it, get yourself a pez dispenser-

Major Thanks

Today was more adjusting for us. We're doing a lot to get our apartment looking presentable. It's starting to feel like a real home here!

To the many amazing people that have supplied our apartment with such helpful supplies; THANK YOU!! You guys have made the transition for us much, much easier.

We've recently began some good friendships with several people here that seem to enjoy spending time with us. Please pray that the networking will continue and that God's love will pour out of the three of us.

Curious to know what we're listening to? If not, I'm still going to tell you...
The music of the week is: Top Gun Soundtrack. Get yourself some of that and listen to the first track ten times straight. It'll change your life-

keep it real,

P.S. were just kidding about the logo!!!

Well folks, it looks like the apartment is finally full! Speedy has made his appearance here in sunny, (albeit chilly...thank you cold front), Tampa! And although the apartment isn't exactly up to par as of yet, we certainly expect to begin having new friends over shortly.

Not long after Speedy showed up, the three of us went to another BCM meeting was a great chance to meet new people and make new friends.

As of now, now being 2:27am, our lives consist of sleep and homework. Well, the homework is Emilio.. and the sleeping is JR... so that leaves Speedy to roam the apartment looking for things to put away.

Point of the blog: please continue in prayer for us. There are many needs in this area and we are excited to dive in! Pray for unity in this house, as well as when we go out. Our first official "study" is only a few days away! Pray that people will come and enjoy themselves.

One last thing... we found these pictures and thought them a little familiar, but strange nonetheless. Feel free to check them out-

much love,

So we were throwing around a new idea for the Tampa logo. Heres what we came up with, Were just trying to be relevant.

First Meeting Information

Alright, for all the people interested in coming out, we're gonna be getting a bunch of the students together and having a good time. The address here is 3604 Data Dr. Apt. 101 at Lakeview Oaks. 3604 is the second to last building in the very back right of the complex when you come in. We'll be providing a free meal, some music, and then we will just see what's up about getting connected with God and what the Bible says about. We're really excited, our first meeting will start on the 28th at 6:30, if you need directions or help with a ride call Emilio at (757)652-6951 or email him at emiliomarrero3@gmail.com. Sweet, well I cant wait to meet you guys and to really understand the life and beauty of God together.

BLog number 2

Okay, so it's been two weeks so far and things are moving. Finally the solitary confinement for Emilio is over and roomate J.R. has finally came down. The move in process was great, finally our apartment has more in it than camping supplies and blankets. We actually have a couch!!!!! So living arangments are doing great and we finally have an offical team down here. We went out sharing today for the first time. While walking around we got in some great conversations, people are easy to talk to and really don't mind people talking to them at all. We got around 5 e-mails from people interested in coming out and one of the girls who was a grad student prayed with us! So continue to pray for our time as we go out and that things really start up. We met a lot of Christians which was a great thing, but a lot of people on campus see Christians in a "Brother Micah" view. So there is a lot of work to be done, other Christians out here really have a heart for the gospel but are pretty timid. We are looking forward to seeing Speedy finally roll in and getting our small group started up. We tentatively have selected Wednesday nights at 6:30 for our meeting times starting January 28th. All your prayers and support are definitely appreciated and we will continue to keep you all up to pace with what's going on down here in Tampa.

I received these images from this unnamed source???? I have nooo clue where they came from I'm gonna do some investigative work for you guys though.
