update.

I realized that I'm long overdue for a post, so here's a quick update...  My first week back after the break was spent at the Grimerud base near Hamar, where everyone had been for the worker's gathering (i skipped out) We had a few days of teaching there on prayer and fasting and we had the opportunity to fast for a day and participate in their 24/7 prayer room.  It was a really great time to refocus and find peace. I really longed for more time with the Lord after those days.

This past week was our creative project week. At the beginning of the week we were told that we would be having an exhibition in May with the theme of "loneliness" since Norway has one of the highest rates of "lonely people" in the world. So we all got in groups and worked on projects all week. My group ended up creating a sculpture that loosly resembles a bird cage made of wire, string, and branches. It's large enough that you can actually crawl in it.  We also wrote a letter based on the screw tape letters by C.S. lewis and on the outside of the cage we pinned photos of groups of people where one person was cut out on each and glued to the floor of the cage.  I'll put up photos soon! Another group made this video.  It's pretty awesome I'd say. check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1kBL5OMXkY

Next week we're going back to Elnesvaagen for another mini outreach, and this time we get to go to schools and teach art/ hang out with kids!

Fundraising has gone well lately, and I finally sold my laptop! I only have $650 to go now. Photos are still for sale if you'd like to help: http://aubreywebbdesign.dotphoto.com/CPListAlbums.asp

and now for the most exciting news.... outreach!
We've finally found out more information about what we'll be doing in Mexico. This schedule is still very tentative, but here's what it may look like: On March 7th (happy birthday Phil!) we fly to Mexico City and find a way to get to Colima. We'll spend three weeks helping at Mauricio's gallery in Colima and help him start up a cafe there. Then we'll spend one week in Guadalajara at a home for street kids (I'm very excited for this!) Next we may possibly spend around 5 days in Cuidad Obregon (not sure yet what we would do there). Then we plan on spending around 3 weeks in Tiajuana where we will hopefully be helping at some orphanages and at an after school arts program in Tecate (http://studiodelcreador.org) after that we have to find a way back to Mexico City! I'm so so so excited about everything we'll be doing. I'm practically counting down the days until we leave Norway, which is pretty easy when we only have 6 hour days...

Adios!

photo sale

For My last fundraising effort I've set up this website to sell my photographs. Check it out and please buy one (or two?) ! I still need to raise about $900 and this payment is already a month late so I need the money asap. Any photos that you order are sent directly to you by this company. After printing costs I'll make about $30 for each photo ordered.
