Goofing off and getting ready for Brazil.

You haven't heard much from me these past couple of weeks because not much has happened. That's good and bad. I had a great time hanging out with friends from Hopkins and Baltimore two weeks ago. I love Baltimore! It has everything right next to each other: poverty, wealth, bright people, stupid people, artists, engineers, and some crazy people I call my friends. Mario sorry I missed you!

Then I continued my tour of friends on down to Middlesex, VA. My church had their annual baptism/party on the Rappahannock River. Good times on the rivah hanging out with friends from Northern VA!

Then the same weekend headed down to Suffolk to enjoy Labor Day with more family. Got to meet the latest addition to the family, Brandon. Since then I've been hanging out in West Point with my high school buddy Chris Henley. While he's running his family's hardware store I'm learning Portuguese with Rosetta Stone.

Aside from that I've had one random trip up NoVA for an orthodontist appt and a kayaking trip with my friend Josh Fix yesterday. It was a gorgeous afternoon off the islands of mosquito point. Sorry I didn't take any pictures, forgot my camera.

Overall, having a good time catching up with friends and family and yet dying to get back into the missions field.

I'm still getting ready for my trip to Brazil and hence have a favor to ask you:
Consider taking over my cell phone contract. The contract expires in September 2006. If I cancel it early, I lose $175.00, but I can transfer it for free. Verizon Wireless does an incredible job indoors or outdoors, rural or urban. It works everywhere that I've been. Only thing is it won't work in Brazil. :( This is the only cell phone company that hasn't pissed me off which is amazing! If you have one of those crap services like Sprint or Cingular you need this phone. You can have the phone itself for free. My nationwide plan costs me about $50/mth after all the taxes and surcharges and stuff.
I'll be posting a few more random favors but getting my phone a new home is the main one.

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...
