The Land of the Buffalo.

It's official! I'm a WyldLife leader is the grand ole county of Floyd in beautiful Virginia. To say that I'm stoked would have to be an understatement (I've been placed for about a month now and the excitement hasn't gone down a bit).

Things I love about Floyd:

  1. As of June I will have a room in two different houses in Floyd (being on a team with married people rocks)!
  2. Floyd is full of hippies, and that makes things a lot more fun.
  3. There are a TON of cows, so basically I was destined to spend the rest of my life in Floyd.
  4. Our entire leadership is made up of a group of 16 of the most loving and God fearing people I've every met it my whole life. Also we are a group of 16 oddballs that make life so much more interesting.
  5. I haven't been to many places in America, but I could probably argue that Floyd is the prettiest of all the places in America.
  6. Every Friday night the country store downtown puts on a Friday Nite Jamboree and bands play live music and everybody flatfoots (cool Floyd dancing) - If you are a Tech student go to the Jamboree at least once, you won't regret it. 
  7. People actually live in yurts.
I am so blessed and honored that God placed me in Floyd for at least the next three years of my journey to love on and teach the kids of Floyd county about the love of him and his son. I cannot wait to see how the Lord uses me in this county! 

This week are gearing up for first club of the semester and it is a very very exciting time for the WyldLife team! We would your prayers for the Lord's plan to surpass ours this week as we prepare for sharing the gospel with kids and that their ears and hearts will be opened and receptive to the message of Christ!

xoxo,
Abby
