Add on to the Rifle road trip

I finally remembered at least one of the things I knew I was forgetting. It's really random like three months later I know but we went bowling and I shot the best shot I ever will in my life.

The first shot ended with a split, I think 7-9 split. I decided it was hopeless so I practiced putting as much spin on the ball as I could which would normally end in a gutter ball. There was a lot of spin, but it was pretty slow, and it definitely bounced like 3 times. When I let go I knew it was at the wrong height and didn't see it I just heard it bounce. When I saw Rick and Salomon get kind of excited watching I thought they were just playing trying to get me to turn around, but I turned to see it slowly curve and hit the right side of the 9 pin at the perfect angle. The 9 pin flew into the 7 pin and I wish i had it on video.

Headed to Rifle Colorado...again

So me and Salomon made an epic road trip and we ended up staying in Rifle the whole time. It started out as a trip to california to see the cowboys. Then it was to vegas. Then half Rifle and Amarillo. Then we just stayed in Rifle. Here's some bullet points that I never want to forget:

- A nap every day

- 2000 miles added onto Salomon's car. Messed up my sleep schedule from so much driving. I had the lock-in Friday night, drove to OK at 10 saturday morning, left OK at 6PM and got to Rifle at 6AM Rifle time. That was the way there. On the way back I drove from 11AM Saturday till basically 2PM in college station Sunday, stopping only for a little for an hour of church and some eating, and seeing Kalena in Wichita.

- 5 complete round trips between Glenwood Springs and Rifle

- Waterworld on Wed, going for the lazy river record

- Paragliding and then another theme park with the swing over the cliff on Tues

- Skydiving on Friday

- Helping Alan remodel his home Thurs and a meteor shower that night

- A pretty intense Bible study Sunday night.

- walking into the Farr's house at 8AM without knocking when they thought we were getting there later

Headed to Rifle Colorado

We are at the hotel right now after finishing one day of driving, and one more day of driving to go. Every room of high school kids had to have an adult in the room, and I was the assigned adult to Garrett Sutton and Zach Stephenson's room. Zach and Garrett planned on waking up at 7:15, but I planned on waking up at about 7:45 or whenever both guys had finished showering. So when I got up the hotel clock said 7:45, but the guys were also just waking up so we were kind of in a hurry. I went to eat breakfast while they were getting ready, and the clock down in the lobby said 7:15, which turned out to be the real time. I now have a few extra minutes so might as well post.

We'll get to Rifle tonight, host their worship service tomorrow in which I'm preaching, then throughout the week host a VBS for the community. We've got 20 people going, and we made some pretty sweet stuff for the VBS, like a big boat thing out of cardboard and possibly the best ring toss game ever out of water bottles and cardboard and spray paint. I'll probly put pictures up later.

A New Era Has Begun

This is my third day in the office at church. I thought last night was awesome: I gave a presentation in the high school class about my Thailand trip, Bonnie, the other intern, taught the junior high, and afterwards there were hours of epic 9 vs. 9 volleyball games, with several subs in the rotation for each team. Basically get ready for a legendary summer

Here's a few things I'll be working on this summer:
- spend time everyday memorizing scripture
- spend time everyday studying some spanish

as far as interning with the youth group:
- I'll be working on the Rifle, colorado mission trip
- setting up JH and HS gym days
- camp Goddard (though I'm not 100% sure what I'll be doing in which camp)
- setting up Terrific Tuesdays where we do things with the JH like volunteer and go to Ranger games or Six flags each Tuesday
- basically getting everyone included and involved

I'm packin

gots ta get mah room empty, so I'm puttin everything in boxes
