Josh is a Dork!
So I thought I'd let you all know what Josh is doing at this moment. He's playing with a little toy cash register. He's speaking into the microphone playing "store manager".
"Shoppers it's ten minutes til closing time please complete your shopping."
"We need a price check for register 3, price check for aisle 3"
"I'm sorry sir we can't accept this coupon, it's for Trader Joe and this is Walmart"
and the list goes on.
So anyway this is my entertainment for a Saturday night, sad but true.

Let Me See YOU Boogaloo!
Pastor Doug, the pastor of congregational life at church, has the job of filling time at the end of music and drama camp. Doug worked at a kids camp when he was younger, so he has some funny camp games and stories. His rendition of the “Herman the Worm” story was excellent.
The hands down favorite of everyone in camp, though, is “the Boogaloo”. We had never heard of it before. It starts with everyone getting in a circle and holding hands. The leader leads a chant that goes like this:
Leader: left . . . left . . . left, right, left
Let me see you Boogaloo!
Everyone else: What’s that you said?
Leader: I said let me see you Boogaloo!
Everyone else: What’s that you said?
Leader: I said let me see you Boogaloo!
Everyone else: What’s that you said?
Then the leader does a silly dance saying “oh, ah ah ah, oh, ah ah ah” and everyone else mimicks him. Doug led us through more and more rounds of the game where the thing he asked us to do changed, and the noise we made while we did what he told us changed. We did “let me see you play dead”, “let me see you shoot the moon” and “let me see you do the Schwarzenegger”.
Our favorite, though was “let me see you do the preacher”. The dance for that one was accompanied by “bla, bla, bla, bla . . . bla, bla, bla, bla”.
The guy who was hired to preach at the church said it, not me.

Real Life or Art?
Some of you will appreciate this more than others but I have to share it with you, it's just too funny. Today started our Drama/Music camp at Granite Springs. I am a coach for the 3rd graders (yup...some of you know how much I love to teach other kids). The musical that we are doing is based on Mark 5 with 3 stories-the demon possessed man, the bleeding woman and the dead girl, all of whom Jesus heals.
During our small group time, Arianna (the other coach) was reading part of the bleeding woman story, in our scene her problem isn't bleeding but farting. Arianna gets to the part where no one wants to be by this woman because of her smells and noise, when one of our students lets out a very loud fart. The kids all burst out laughing and started to move away from this poor girl. It's just like the skit unfolding in front of us. We could not have planned it better. It was all I could do to not laugh too. We just moved along to the song about how she makes us sick with her smells. Don't worry it all works out in the end. Hopefully Sunday's performance will go as well as this one:)

Yosemite National Park
We had a great time in Yosemite. Collin stands in front of the Bachelor and 3 Graces. Look for tree hugging Alex and Willy's attitude in the tree tunnel. There was smoke in the air, that's why the pictures are hazy. The red sun is what we see every night with the smoke in the air. Oh and it was 102 degrees:)

Sailing on the Bay
On Thursday, Josh and I spent the day sailing on the SF Bay. This was an opportunity for us, Kristin (the other intern) and Doug (the pastor at Granite Springs) to talk with Ron (one of the other church planters in the area) about church planting. What a nice way to hear Ron's story and ask questions about church planting. I've still been looking for the cross-cultural link in this internship and I wonder if sailing on the Bay might be it.
