I cannot believe how fast this semester has gone. The midshipmen are counting down the days until spring break and finals. The missionaries are counting down the opportunities we have to reach them and introduce Christ, but I can tell you that big things are happening. We have had more people come to daily mass this week then ever before and people are coming to bible studies and learning about the person of Christ. We also just announced two mission trips for this spring break, and there has been a lot interest and many midshipmen have started to sign up. Greg is leading a trip to Mexico City, and I am leading a trip to Ecuador. I cannot wait to see how the Lord touches their heart, but until then we only have this last few weeks until Christmas break.
This weekend is the last home football game of the season, and the midshipmen are fighting for a bowl game. They have to win six football games to be eligible for a bowl game. They should make it, but even if they did not then you can bet that they are still happy about winning the Commander and Chief's Trophy. That is the competition between the three military academies. This year Navy beat Air Force, and when Air Force beat Army that made sure that Navy would keep the Trophy for the year. Maybe next year Air Force! Navy plays Army on December 14th and they hope to make it the twelfth win in a row.
P.S. Keep praying for us and the Naval Academy.
