Well I haven't blogged in a while, but I'm still alive, and I am still well. I was posting some videos on youtube, as you may know. But my computer decided it didn't feel like being connected to the internet anymore, so I haven't be able to edit or post my videos. I suppose it's a good thing in a way, as it allows me to concentrate even more on getting to Bolivia.
Speaking of Bolivia, I have a site up! International Teams set up a website for updates and donations for my missions trip. A big thanks to those who have already donated.

So I just got back from a meeting with some members of the missions committee with my church. It went quite well, I think, as I got to share with them about what I'll be doing in Bolivia, how I'll be getting there, and so on. Later today, I'll be meeting with Pastor Rick to fill out a form of some sort for Bolivia. I think it's just a written consent form saying that the church agrees with me going. There sure are many things to be done in preparation of a trip such as this... Learning a new language, getting a new passport, lots and lots of forms, raising money, maybe a health check-up... And so on.
At the meeting, they posed the idea of me speaking at a Sunday night service, and possibly a Sunday morning service to. I don't consider myself much of a public speaker. In fact the idea of it alone freaks me out. But I'm willing to do it. We'll see how it goes. That probably won't be this Sunday, but the Sunday after. So you should come check it out if you can! It'll be at the Golden Age Center.
Last Tuesday, I was able to go into Regina and hop on the Love Bus. I'm not sure how long it's been running, but more than a couple years I think. So basically what we did was ride a bus around inner-city Regina, and talk and pray with people. Many people in the area know about the bus, and hop on happily. There were some prostitutes, ex-street people, and street people. It was really cool to hear their stories and what God's done in their lives. They've been praying for more girls to join the bus because a lot of the people who come on the bus are women. Cool enough, my sister's friend was praying for an opportunity to talk to prostitutes, and my sister has had some experience talking to ex-prostitutes in the past, and the both of them are excited to join the Tuesday night team. Unfortunately, the Love Bus is canceled this week. Hopefully, they will be able to join us next week though.
