our broken toilet, jet lag with three little children, and the holy land of course. it's all very excellent, enjoy.

we haven't done much in the way of preparing for israel, to be honest there wasn't a ton we had to do. we moved scott out of his apartment, packed up our gear, and are basically waiting to go at this point. the second half of the video entry is pretty much stupid, it's just a few things we did while waiting to leave. we did see a moose on our dune buggy ride however, that was dang sweet!

MAY 8, 2007

thus far i've been in utah for just over a week.

i work with four guys from ages 40 to 70, and none of them act their age, much less mine. i love these guys so much, and i am excited that this is the place i am needed right now. today we did extensive testing with the cameras and other technical thing-ee-madoosits. i can barely believe that all that's expected of me here is to shoot, edit and research geek stuff. what a blessing!

this documentary was shot over a period of eight days in Managua Nicaragua. i went down with a team of 16 members from my home church to tend to the needs of many of the hurting people in the small villages outlining Managua. we separated into four groups in which we shared the gospel, worked construction of many of the homes, ran a medical clinic, and gave out 250 Christmas gifts to the local children. the documentary in and of itself serves the purpose of showing you everything that went on during those eight days just as we saw it. i hope that it helps you to understand how much the resources that we have are needed in a place where people are lacking so much.
