It is good to be back with all of you. most of you may know who I am. My name is Vincent Greene. I'm, like Mike said, one of the missionaries that's being sent out to the Philippines from the church.
And, if you've come to this church in the last year, you may not know me, because we've been gone for about 1 year. we moved back to South Carolina. We were here for about 4 years, lived right across from the Starbucks up here, and we would walk to church a lot and, People would offer us rides, but we would just walk sometimes. But anyway, we were here for 4 years, but then last year we moved back to South Carolina closer to our families, and also there are churches back there that I can connect with and partner with in terms of trying to raise some of the support that we need to go to the Philippines, and we've been on a 2.5 month trip.
We left the day after Labor Day. Got our family all packed into a van and we've been crisscrossing the country. We, we went to DC, Washington DC, the first weekend of, or the second weekend of September, and we were able to go to Liberty and actually see a couple of students who were there, who are also church members here, and that worked well. And we went to DC, stayed a few days.
I presented at a church there, and then we went to Minneapolis. We worked our way to Minneapolis for the 3rd weekend of the month. And so we were there for 3 days, and then we went from Minneapolis all the way through South Dakota to Wyoming, Missouri, all the way out to Seattle. And that was an interesting trip because I've never driven through Seattle or never driven through Washington state or even Idaho....
