A Journey At Home

Journey to the Center of the Earth starring Brenden Fraser, Anita Briem, and Josh Hutcherson came out of theaters on the 28th of October! Now out in 2-D and 3-D, you can take the same adventure and see the same things as if you were really there from the comfort of your own home!
That's what the commercials say (basically) and they are so right! That is my favorite movie of all time other than Prince Caspian. I got it the day it came out and I have already watched it twice (once in 2-D once in 3-D). I am not like Flinn and will do that with just any movie either so be amazed! LOL! The only thing that isn't so cool is that the commentary is just Brenden Frazier and the
3-D isn't as cool as when you see it in theaters (which is expected). The rest is so neat! The features are Brenden Fraser and Director Eric Brevig commentary, A World Within Our World (theories about what is beneath the planet's crust), Being Josh (What a day with 12-year-old Josh Hutcherson is like), How to make Dinosaur Drool (pretty self-explanitory), and Adventure at the Center of the Earth Challenge (some games on the dvd).
So, there you have it! A lot of info about the DVD that I am sure you didn't care to know! It is pretty interesting to watch, though. I saw all of them except the theory thing and the games. Haven't done those yet.
So, in summary, it was a great movie and if you haven't seen it you need to (araken :P) because it was VERY good and I thought it was pretty well made for a kinda kid, kinda not movie. I loved it! :D

P.S. Can you tell I'm a little sugar high tonight? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Finally an Update






I have just had the most Narnia-filled day of my life and I LOVED IT!!!!! As you may have guessed by now, I am a HUGE Narnia fan. One of my best friends had a birthday party yesterday and she too is obsessed with Narnia, so of course it was all Prince Caspian-d out. We acted out and filmed parts of the movie, spoke in British accents occasionally, had a birthday cake that had Narnia action figures all over it, played Narnia games, watched some Narnia, and had Narnia conversations! It was sooo fun! Call me crazy if you will...and I won't argue with you...but it was a blast!
As much fun as that was, it was also slightly depressing. See, we just found out that they are moving like two or so hourse away from us. That isn't a terribly long way, but we are so used to seeing each other all of the time it will just be weird and sad. :( We both do swordsclass together which mean we see each other at least once a week... "all that we know is about to change."
Back to a brighter subject...I have been asked to play guitar and sing in our JOY ministies at church. That will be sooo fun! JOY ministries is basically a Sunday school for kids with special needs like downs, autism (sp?), and things like that. It is soooo neat to see them worshiping God in their own way. But please just be praying that it goes okay and that I don't cause them to be bored to tears! LOL


One last thing: I thought you may want to see some of the pics from Mexico. This is a pic of the family we built for: This is the mission team and the family:

Sword Class

Well, you have heard me mention sword class a million times, I'm sure. I'm sure you have also heard me try and explain that it isn't REAL fighting but staged. So, here are some youtube videos made by some people who do it too! Now you can maybe have a visual of what it is. So, here are the random makings of our swordclass friends!

Nothing is going on so I am gonna ramble

So there is not a whole lot to say, so this will probably be the world's shortest post. You never konw. So...I auditioned for A Christmas Carol with my sister and we found out today that neither of us got the part. I've been turned down twice so I am getting a little discouraged but I'll keep on trying out anyways! I am going to see Flinn's play again today...they have had a few messups but they were all funny and I didn't get to see any of them so I hope that something funny happends today! Not something terrible, but funny! :) Well....I guess I'll leave it at that and try to seek out something to write about in future posts! LOL

God Bless and Never Alone!

Mission Trip

Hey! I am officially in Mexico! I have been here since around four o'clock on Tuesday. It is really fun! I got to see the family we built a house for last trip and that was really neat! I may post pictures of them later if they don't mind. The streets here are totally full of water in some places from hurricaine IKE and some others are totally dry and cracked.
The kids here are so dirty and covered in mud in most parts of Mexico, but some of them are nice and clean and go to school every moring. It is so bad that they fight over one granolla bar. It is really sad. Ne praying for these people!
There is one boy who has an ear infection and had for a long time. We took him to a good Doctor here and she told them he needed medicine but for some reason the dad won't let him take it. I don't know why.
Another familyhas an 83 or so year-old grandpa that has a problem and can't walk. My dad can fix it, but they won't make the effort. Keep on praying! ;)

God Bless and Never Alone!

33 kids joining the Kingdom of God and maybe more to come!

We had our preformance for the Star Wars play yesterday! We switched some things around and turned it into a ministry thing and 32 kids ended up getting saved! It was sooooo cool! We are now going to try to do it at other churches and stuff so that more people can accept Christ into their hearts! SO excititng! Keep us in your prayers!
Also, I went to a youth camp this weekend and my friend, who I always assumed was a Christian, also prayed and asked God into her heart. It was so cool. We were all in our cabin for Reflection when she said that. All the other girls started admitting things to everyone about their struggles and we were all hugging them and crying and praying for them. We heard some really neat things and some really sad things too. It was all just really neat and you could see God working in some of them already. It was amazing.
Another thing, is that I am leaving for a week-long mission trip to Mexico tomorrow! We will be building a house and seeing families that we have built for in the past. It will be really neat. So please pray that we have an impact on their lives. Pray that we do more than build a house, but that we help them start to build a relationship with God as well.

God Bless and Never Alone!
