It certainly has been alittle while since i last posted. I arrived home to San Francisco three days ago, and it is good to be home. Let me backtrack a abit.

I finished the article for OMS' magazine. It took me a couple weeks and a rewrite or so. The first time i interviewed Tom Wright, my sound recorder ran out of batteries. My first dcraft didn't have the angle that the editor wanted, so i interviewed a few new people and completely rewrote it. I can't wait to see it in print. I will have a published work when it comes out. Hooray!

The article is about the two different short term missions trips to Spain and Hungary that Global youth ministries led last summer. I interviewed two alma heights students, one that went to each for it. The magazine should be coming out soon. I'll try to post it on here.

Over the past few months in Indianapolis my house mates and i have spoken in almost 20 middle school public classrooms on abstinecne. We weren't aloud to talk about Jesus, but we implied him to the best of our ability and portrayed a godly lifestyles. We know also that many people were praying for the classes we spoke to and we pray that others might harvest the seeds we planted.

Besides regularly studying and discussing the Bible with Tom, Richard, and Erik, we have been preparing for Alma Heights upcoming missions trip to Mexico. We have been working putting together the binders full of devotionals, training materials, and all relating trip information. After printing out all the material and compiling it we shipped it to California.

On March 27th i flew home to California. Before leaving i had to pack up all my stuff which was no fun, and say goodbye to all my friends and aquaintances made at the OMS campus headquarters.

Coming home was nice, especially to start catching up with firends and family. This week Tom Wright and his wife Beth and dear Mama Brown, are in town speaking in chapel and teaching at Alma Heights. On Saturday we will have a training session for all the kids going on the missions trip to Mexico.

I will help lead the Mexico Trip which goes down to the orphange at Ranchop De Sus Ninos in Tijuana Mexico. That will be from April 10th-16th and from mid May to June i will be in the Phillipines working with some church planting teams through OMS.
