This week has been a really fun week. Crazy, but fun. Erin was here visiting so of course we had to give her the california experience. Mon wes FHE so we went and played steal the flag at a park and then we went and watched Transformers till 1 AM (which by the way is a pretty good movie). Tues, we went to go see the midnight showing of Harry Potter. We got there at 8 PM and there was already a huge line around the theatre. We were lucky though and we had people there already waiting in line so we got in line and waited for 4 hours until the movie started. It was a great movie but it probably would have been better if I had gone to see it at a reasonable hour. I didn't really want to go see the midnight showing but erin and the rest of my cali gang was going to see it that time so I figured I'd tag along. Wen, we went up to do a service project for the young womens of our stake. They were at yw camp and the leaders got a whole bunch of singles to do a "hold to the rod" thing. It was way cool. There was a whole bunch of scenes that were supposed to show what worldly things were like and we were supposed to tempt the girls to come off of the rod. It was actually fun. I was in the great and spacious building scene. Before that scene though, me and a few other singles were supposed to go and as the girls were going through a tunnel, they would see and hear our silloettes (sp?) mocking and making fun of them and then we'd run up to this building where there was loud music and party lights all around it. It was quite realistic. There was a whole bunch of singles (myself included) "partying". We had the IBC root beer bottles and rolled up peices of paper that looked like weed and we kept trying to pull the girls off the rod. We didn't succeed but we tried. It was really fun. On Thurs, as you can see from the pics, we went to the beach. We built sand castles, buried Jed, played in the water, and built a fire so we could make smores on the beach. It was awesome! Fri, we went and danced like there was no tomorrow at one of the dances that they have every week. Sat, although I have no pictures to prove it, we went to Six Flags. I decided not to take my camera along as last time I took my camera there, it fell to it's doom. But we went on a whole bunch of crazy rides! It's 10 times better lagoon. The only reason it's not more so is because the lines were huge! For the first part of the day, every line that we waited in was about an hour and a half to two hours long. But we had a lot of fun. Anyways, those are my adventures of last week. Thought you'd all be interested :-) Oh and by the way, Cambrie put a new video of Keira up on youtube. Go check it out, it's really cute. It's the one entitled Kiera eating Yellow Death. Ciao family!
Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...
