I Kayaked on the Indian Ocean!
February 8, 2009
Yesterday I had the opportunity to Kayak on the Indian Ocean. It was so cool. Me and Jeff went as a double. We had the brilliant idea to bring camera with us. Jeff had an extra camera that was older that he brought. This was a good idea in theory until we had a big wave hit us as we were getting in the Kayak. Needless to say the camera is no more, but it did not die before we had the chance to take some awesome pictures of ourselves and our friends!
The water was so warm! Mom, there is no question you would have been in the water! It was a beautiful day, I got a nice tan with no sunburn! It is amazing what sunscreen can do. We were able to go shopping and go to a couple markets. It still is crazy how something can change from an extremely touristy area to a poorer area in a five minute walk.
The only bad thing was my friend Laura Jane got stung when she was in the water and had to pee on herself. Hum. Awkward… Next topic.
I had the opportunity to watch The Crossing’s 11:30 service online a few minutes ago! Everyone did awesome. The music and message were top quality. It was also awesome how they did baptism videos! God is definitely doing some incredible things in that church in spite of a bad economy!
MONKEY UPDATE: The monkeys are still horrible, but at least they run at the sight of me so I don’t have to deal with them. The girls carry sticks around because these ridiculous monkeys are chauvinist pigs and relentlessly go after the girls.
I miss you all and hope you are doing well!
Engaged? Snow? Las Vegas?
December 15, 2008
Today was a good day. It was my first day back home in Las Vegas, also my first day working at the church during the Christmas season. It was crazy. Final preparations are underway for the Christmas eve services. They are going to be incredible.
I was at a video shoot from 6-10:30 tonight for a video that is going to be showed during the services. It was a very technical shoot. If you have ever seen Heroes where there is still shots while someone pops out of the screen, that is what it is going to be like. It was funny, last night my boss, Lee, told me I was going to be in the video and I was going to be engaged. When I got to the shoot, I found out I was the main character! I really enjoyed it, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. The filming went longer then planned, but it will turn out really good in the end. I hope I did a good job :-)
Today, was the longest snowfall I have ever experienced in the Las Vegas valley. it definitely snowed for most of the day. It was extremely fun.
