Packing Up & Heading South

We are official residents in Florida. We made it here a couple of weeks ago, & are still in the process of unloading! (Although, we are very close to being complete). We were packing up on a Friday a couple weeks ago. We had our things in a storage unit, so some brothers came to unload the unit & put it in the "big truck"! We managed to snap a couple of pictures, but for some reason they are not posting. Keep on looking to see if we get more pictures on here!!

We had a journey on the way down. When ran into some trouble with one of the trucks. We got to get a long break to stretch our legs though! The other group in the "big truck" went ahead heading to Florida, while the rest of us went to a work shop to see what was wrong with the other truck. We got delayed a couple hours. While we were waiting we got to make a witness. We were in the waiting room, we started a conversation with a lady in there & told her we were moving to Florida. She asked why we were going to Florida. Mom explained to her that we were Jehovah's Witnesses & that we were full time pioneers. She looked at us and said- "My mom told me she was a pioneer!". She went on to explain that her family had grown up around the truth, but never were really involved. It was so awesome to see that she recognized who we really were.
We finally got the truck fixed & were on our way. We got in at 4:00 AM on Sunday Morning. A brother dropped off some breakfast for us and was planning to come back & help us unload! After the meeting we were greeted with friends that were ready to help us unload!
We got to relax that evening & enjoyed some real seafood!
The Honeys!

The Beginning!....

Here we are one day from moving to Florida. It seemed like it would never take place with all the things we have had to do in this last month. But before we got were we are today, we had many things that happened before this day here is our story.

 It all started when we wrote the branch to ask if there were any congregations in need in the panhandle of Florida. To our surprise 6 congregations needed help. After we got our letter we decided if we wanted to move there we would have to spend some time in those congregations to see what one needed our help. So we went down there for a month to see what these congregations were like and which one would fit our family the best. So we spend a whole month visiting many congregations. So one of the third congregations we looked at is Crawfordville Florida. That is right next to Tallahassee, about 15 minutes. We felt that this congregation needed us because there is only one pioneer and the elder body is older so we felt that this congregation really needs our support and many other people too! And this would fit us the best for work being that we would live next to Tallahassee.

We are so excited to start exploring the new area & seeing what is around and getting to know new friends! So there is the story! Check up on our blog to see what going on in Florida.
