This is the official blog for Eric Z's 2010 mission to Liberia, Africa. I'll be going to Africa with 30 members of The Grove Bible Church from June 12th through June 28th.

First Letter from Eric to the Munchkins

I am working on creating a series of messages that Jodi can read to the boys each night that I'm gone. My first message will begin with the boys watching my favorite clip from the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness", starring Will and Jaden Smith.



"Don't ever let somebody tell you...you can't do something. Not even me. You gotta a dream...you gotta protect it."

What I love about you boys the most is your drive, your desire to follow your own path no matter what your mom or dad say. Sure...it drives your mom crazy sometimes, but it makes you special. People are going to try to take that away from you...don't let 'em. People are going to tell you that you can't do something because you are not smart enough, too slow, or too small. Don't listen to them...they don't want to see you succeed. Love yourself first! Live life with passion, and follow your own path.
I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Good night and have sweet dreams!
Love...Dad
