Busy Busy Busy

Well, once again I have waited too long to update. We have been up to a lot the past 2 weeks. Our Wednesday evening service has been going well. This month we studied James. Ben shared on chapter 4 last week and I wrapped it up with chapter 5 tonight.
In class we went through Daniel and today we started the Torah. Very interesting and exciting stuff.
I got to give blood again on the 22nd. That went very well for me this time, but not for Ben. lol
I have started doing interviews with older men in the church in order to put together a video of them. I am working with another guy who is interested in making movies.
I got to learn how to lay some large tile at the Brewer's house. The Brewer's are the family of 2 of the students and our most gracious hosts.
Last weekend we volunteered at Acquire The Fire in Miami. I was an usher so my job was to make sure people sat in the right seats and stayed there during concerts. I got to be in the front to watch Leeland, which I really enjoyed, and Pillar, which was okay (too hard for my tastes). It was a lot of fun to attend. Plus I got another free t-shirt!
On Monday, Travis and I got up at 4am to drive to the Atlantic to watch the sun rise. It was pretty cool. While there we swam in the ocean, sat on the beach and visited the UDT/Seal museum in Fort Pierce. We then drove across the state to the Gulf of Mexico and watched the sun set there. We got to walk around downtown Sarasota, which was pretty cool. Overall it was fun, a neat experience and a safe trip.
I have a prayer request. My friend Alison has been very sick for the past few months and finally the doctors know what is wrong with her and they are going to be operating on her on April 16 at 1:30. Please pray for her that she won't be scared and that the surgery will go well and fix her problems. But also thank God that the end is probably in sight for this hard trial!
That is about all that has been going on here. This Saturday I will be renewing my CPR certification and receiving my First Aid certification! I am excited about that!
Also, please pray for our upcoming trip to Nicaragua. We are trying to raise the needed money and we are still waiting on Ben and Morgan's passports. We also need to find some cheap plane tickets. We are leaving in 2 weeks from yesterday.
That is about all. I will post a few pictures of what has been going on, but you should check out my Picasa album. I will update that soon with lots of pictures and video!
