Update by Matt Palant


Hey everyone. Today was such a great day! We drove "the gift mobile" up and down Duval St. in the Keys handing out water bottles and bags of chips with thegiftrevolution.com stickers on them. We attracted a lot of attention with people snapping pictures and getting the van on video. All went well until i attempted to jump out of the van to give a water bottle while the van was still moving and hit the road right in front of a Starbucks with many people watching. No damage was done to me, but everyone was laughing. We met a group of about 10 homeless people and fed them and spent time playing tic-tac-toe, reading bible verses, and just hanging on the beach. Sunset we were by the cruise ships where we watched the street performers do their thing, and helped a husband and wife raise some extra money. On the way back to the campsite we drove around singing jingle bells while strumming a guitar and hitting the tambourine. I saw so many people just waving and smiling. I pray that everyone we have talked to and reached out to today will pass it on. See you later
