Encounter

Hey peeps. I'm still doing just fine and learning a LOT of things. I pray that you are as well.

Right now, Hillsong Church is on the last day of Encounter, which is the youth conference that they put on every. It starts on Thursday night and lasts until Saturday night (tonight). Which means that for the past 3 days, I have had 16 hour days of work. So far, I've moved lights all over the place, cleaned up stage, changed bulbs, wrapped cables, and ran the spotlight. Currently, I'm sitting in rehearsal by my trusty spotlight, waiting for the musicians to get done and the speaker can come on stage. I love production and everything involved so far.
Yesterday, I was blessed by Anthony with the knowledge of how to make a really good and cheap sandwich. There's a local butchery and bakery that sell rolls and roast beef so that I can make a really filling roast beef sandwich for under $2. Plus, I just love sandwiches, so this is incredibly exciting for me.

This Thursday at Sisterhood, all campuses combined and so did the kids as well. In the homeschool age where I volunteer, I had the opportunity to lead a blind kid around for awhile, keep him company during a movie, and help him play Wii. He is very interested in drumming and was showing me his skills on the college drum set. I'm really happy that his parents are allowing him to have this really creative outlet and I'm excited for what he's going to do in the future. This coming Friday is a one-day event called Kidsfest. Going against my normal self, I decided to be a group leader for Kidsfest. This means that I'll be hanging out with a lot of kids all day and just having fun and running around. I'm really excited to see how God will work through me into the lives of these kids.

Also coming up is college break, which is a week long and is very similar to spring break back home. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do for it yet, but I'll probably go to the City and the beaches and the zoo with anthony and Matt. I'm looking forward to having a week off, but I'll probably be doing a crazy amount of things every day, just like normal.

I expect that I'll be updating more regularly as God continues to work on my diligence and work ethic as I continue in production. Please continue to pray for me to be a good impact on these kids and to learn things efficiently and allow God to teach me what he wants me to learn. I pray for y'all back home and I'd love to know how you're all going.
