I at the Sunrise Community Center in Lakeland with the Gear Up Florida Team.
We ate lunch at Webster Memorial Baptist Church. They are pretty legendary for their hospitality to the team. Pat Foster and other members of the congregation really pull out the stops and make an awesome feast of down home cooking.
This was my fourth year visiting the church. I first met everyone while I was on the 2003 GUF team. I spent some time talking to Chad Foster, who I met 4 years ago now. He seems to be doing well and says that he is headed to camp next week near Brandon, Florida.
We have a little downtime at the Community Center and then we will be heading out to another friendship visit. I have an old friend named Tracey that I met 4 years ago. We have kept in touch via email and I just heard from her last week that she will be at the visit so I am looking forward to seeing her. I’ll post some pictures later.
