Since I wrote last I have been to Albuquerque and visited with family for a while during Christmas. Then on the 27th I headed up to Denver CO for DCC. Cru's Denver Christmas Conference. As staff I made it on the video team. This was my Fifth DCC and my first as staff. On the video team I recorded any short videos they needed and covered the events like the flash mob and Haiti meal packing. On new years eve in particular, I recorded all 1200 students going out on 16th street and doing the flashmob and using that to get into spiritual conversations afterward. Here is a link to the news coverage of the event : http://www.kdvr.com/videobeta/?watchId=9c2061ea-024a-40cb-9ca1-2e9bc6b25069 .. after that I then recorded about two thousand people doing a wave all the way down 16th street. Again it was used to get into spiritual conversations. After this second flash mob I recorded the fireworks going off in downtown Denver, then all the student went back into the main ballroom in the hotel and we heard a talk from Scott Nickel then had a very awesome worship till the countdown to new years. Once the new year hit we worshiped and danced and celebrated. This all was recorded as well. After Nick and myself finished recording all we needed to we then went into the video room and edited everything we shot and put it into a re-cap video to be shown first thing that morning. We finished recording everything at 1 a.m. And finished the video at 4 a.m. Went to bed at 4:30 and woke up at 8.... this was one of the tougher nights at DCC for me. But I helped make about 5 videos that were shown in front of 1200 students. And one that didn't get shown. I was in Denver working on the video team from the 27th to the 2nd. From the 2nd to the 4th was the staff conference. As you probably have an idea, working att dcc was tiring and a lot of work. So the staff conference is for the staff of cru only. Its after all the students head home and its a chance for us to sit in on our own seminars and not have to worry about work and videos.
I was approached by our campus directer recently about leading a spring break trip to east Asia. Cru at NMSU partners with East Asia as a mission field. We go there for spring breaks and have summer project opportunity there as well. So currently they had no one available to help lead the students there for spring break. I prayed about it and decided I will go ahead and lead a group from NMSU. So please pray for me and the students that will be going to east asia to share our faith and learn and experience experience a different culture.
I am currently looking for another part time job and would ask for prayer to find one. Please pray i get more consistent on getting news letters out and my blog updated. I am excited for a new semester and excited to see the Lord continue to work and transform lives at NMSU. Last semester was incredible. Pray this semester is more so.
