I will be running a group building a deck for and elderly disabled person out on antelope point! no idea why its called that since i havent seen any antelope.. but im just hoping i can reach this group of kids like we have the past 2!!! Its been a very spiritual experience but also a very tiring busy one!!! so ill try to keep my blogs running!!! And I feel for our GBC trip that just reached Montana to find they had no showers!!!! Shoulda came to New Mexico!!!! its the same time zone... ;) lol and by the way a note to Pastor Bill.. you can throw Charity in the Lake when she start to smell funny.. Which is probably almost all the time.. but still you have permission :D Love you all!!!!!

Thursday Hike

ya so this was pretty legit..the family that we have been working with ( weve been installing a new roof) took us out to their sheep farm for a cookout and stuff and we got to go on a hike and naturally we decided to go up the biggest thing in sight..

Day 1 (with a crew)

Hectic.. this is an amazing word because it describes a whole 10 hours of my life :D Started out on a roof with 6 kids with their 2 leaders with Noah Eastman, a co- worker and quickly discovered that this project that was meant to last all week would be done in about 2 days. but all is good in gods eyes I reckon :p got a little bit aggravated at some people but hey, it happens. just some dumb stuff that I think i can do better but thats just a personality thing (thanks mom) haha :D but all is well besides that, I have been chosen as head of roofing operations on all sites and am now an almost full time work crew member, to add to my music stuff :p but hey i gotta go do some practice so peace out!!!!

Video Blog, New Mexico

New Mexico Blog 1

Hey Everybody!! Sorry that I took way to long to start this blog, I've just been one busy fella the past week!!! Anyways.. So last wednesday I took off from Yeager Airport with a final destination in Madison, Wisconsin. As soon as I landed and grabbed my luggage I was tossed in a car with 4 newly acquired friends, as of which we headed to a church camp called Camp Willerup. (which was where I received nine weeks of training.. in four days) Camp was where I met my New Mexico team in addition to all of the other teams that Next Step Ministries sends out nationwide. The four days we had in Willerup were full of Praise Team practices, construction team meeetings, and, bonding with our new friends. It was an awesome experience, all of us came together to prasie and worship our father. We became great friends in a short time!! My crew consists of nine people total, six guys, three girls. My position on the crew is deemed ' music assistant' which basically means I can do whatever I want. :D I do play the bass guitar and run all of the sound equipment and computer stuff. During the main part of the day I will be leading crews of students on the jobsites which will mainly consist of roofing. Since we are already in Crownpoint (it only took us 27 hours of driving ) we have already set up everything and have a slight idea as of how a work week with youth will be. But, with the Lords hand, this will all be a breeze!! I will post pictures & videos of beautiful New Mexico on Facebook and on this blog if possible. Please keep me and everyone on my crew in your daily prayers! God Bless!!!!
