The last few weeks have been very full. We celebrated Lindsey's 24th birthday, took our house rock climbing and spent a weekend up the coast. I was on a two week break from school before starting back for my third and final term. We celebrated Lindsey's birthday with our students and I organized and cooked dinner for Lindsey and a few close people from church. We had a great time at Lindsey's birthday dinner, and the food turned out well. Thanks mom for making me cook when I was younger, it has paid great dividends.

Rock climbing was amazing. We took a group of about 20 from our house and had an absolute blast. I had the thrill of my life when I took a 25 foot fall from the top of a wall before my safety rope caught me. I had just raced up the wall to set a new record and my partner was not able to keep up with the slack I was causing because of my blazing speed. What a rush... Yes I am still young and somewhat invincible. Other than that we have been staying busy with the inner city kids ministry at church. In the upcoming weeks both Lindsey and myself have the opportunity to preach. It should be great and stretching. Lindsey will be speaking to the little guys (ages 4-7) and I get to speak to the older kids ages 8-13. Time is flying by... less than 7 weeks till we return
