Nickspace!

This week wasn’t filled with as many shows as it was memories. It’s late, however, and I’m feelin’ a might forgetful. I’ll try REALLY hard not to miss anything.

After our awesome hockey night with Pastor Shawn in Angel’s Camp on friday, we spent the rest of the weekend doing the only thing more manly that we could think of. We helped Shawn move. It wasn’t easy, but when you show up at a friend’s place with a monster truck and a trailer, you gotta expect that you’ll be helping him in the future. It wasn’t easy, but we were glad to help.

Monday, we went to Stockton. We stayed with our dear friend Pastor Paul at the Free Methodist church. On monday nights, they run a group program for juveniles that’re basically on the brink of prison. We had a few snags, but we love being there.

We stayed in Modesto until Wednesday, when we visited Salida Christian Fellowship in Salida. Joey and Lu were allowed to play our song ‘Beautiful’ at another Salida church for their Ash Wednesday Service. Afterwards, we went to (Salida’s)Pastor Paul’s house and played their Nintendo wii. If you’re interested, I’m terrible at baseball, but I’m not too shabby at wii golf. In fact, I’d say I’m downright incredible. I might’ve come in 3rd place(out of 4), but I looked good getting there.

Thursday, we drove through Sonora to Jenness Park. It’s a camp out far beyond the reach of cell towers. We led worship for over 250 junior and high schoolers. We thought we were playing a concert too, but the camp brought in the VERY talented rapper C-FLO for that. We had a lot of fun getting to know him. You should too.

Book him somewhere/anywhere people like hip-hop. You shant be sorry.

Well, we did that pretty much all weekend. We got fresh snow the last day, which was of course this morning. The kids seemed to love throwing snowballs, which I guess is something I’ve outgrown.

We led worship at our favorite church in Angels Camp, Refuge, this evening. We’re looking forward to this next week. What did you do?

So in previous attempts to keep ya’ll up to date with the fun and interesting things in our lives, I would take pictures, and you could look through dozens of them and have a better grasp on what I try to explain.

Recently, I’ve picked up a new and fun VIDEO CAMERA. It shoots in high definition, and takes the space in my pocket my still camera once occupied. I still take pictures from time to time, but for the most part, I focus more on video. So long story short, you will see far less pictures on this blog, BUT, you can follow our youtube account and watch our much more enlightening footage.

Last Saturday, we left our quaint town of Brookings, Oregon, at 7:30 and drove all the way down to Copperopolis, California. It doesn’t sound like a real place, but it’s a small town around Sonora. They’ve had us in the past play rock concerts for their youth group on sunday nights, but because of the Superbowl, we led worship for their church, and watched the game with Pastor Sean and some friends. I was rooting for the Colts, but I think the Saints earned their victory. I think the real winners of this superbowl were definitely ‘The Who’.

Monday, We played some music for an Alcohol Anonymous group called Celebrate Recovery. Joey gave a testimony about how he has never drank. It was an interesting evening. It was a definite change of pace for us.

Tuesday, We drove over to visit some old friends in Paradise, Ca. It was an off day, and we were very happy to see Jim, Cheryl, and James Noland.

Wednesday, we played a show in Richvale. It’s basically a rice plant, a convenience store, and four blocks of houses. There’s one church in the middle of town, and they were very happy to have us play. We expected maybe a dozen people to come hear us, and we had over a hundred kids come out of the woodwork to come see us. It was our first real, electric rock show this trip, and we had a great time.

Thursday, we went to Willows, California to see as many of our friends in that town as possible in one day. We visited we a lot of friends from Mount Hope Bible Camp, and of course, our friends in Willows. We watched a very close girl’s high-school basketball game. The Willows Honkers barely lost in the last quarter. It was a hard loss.

Friday, after some pizza, we went back to Angels Camp, about 15 miles from Copperopolis, and visited our friends at Refuge. Our homie, Shawn McCammy took us on a Man-Trip with his Congregation to Stockton for In-N-Out and Minor-league Hockey. It was an incredible evening, and I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes us over the next couple months.
