Snow, snow, snow, snow, SNOW!

Yesterday it snowed a lot! We felt like we were walking through Narnia the first time the children come out of the wardrobe. It was my (hannah's) 3rd time seeing snow, and it reminded me once again of why I am so thankful to live in FL. It's very nice to be in a warm house with dry feet. We are taking a zero day and staying with Robert Brewer and his wife. Robert is a world famous honey judge that we met at the UF Bee College.
We've met some wonderful people along the trail, and were traveling along with a little pack until the snow came. To name a few....Bark & Berry - a couple our age from Lousville, Sandy- a retired Scottish man from Australia, Itai - a young adventurer from Israel, Gypsy - a crazy and hilarious chef from Ocala.
We love being on the trail and actually miss it while taking this day off, but we need the rest for our weary bodies.

A verse that my mom gave us the day before we left:
"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way into the (mountains) these next (4 1/2 months), to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands....Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during this time. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. Observe the commands of the Lord your God, working in His ways and revering Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land - a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills...when you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land He has given you." Deuteronomy 8:2-10

Please pray for my knee as it hurts and is swollen at the end of each day.
