Ukraine Cribs

this is upon Todd's request. We figured this would be a good way to show you our place and my sweet acting skillz, editing awesomeness along with Jo's video skillz. Enjoy and comment!

Aside from this video making. We have been taking it easy the past couple days, cause it's been not the best weather to work in the villages. So we have spent an afternoon doing a prayer walk in downtown Zap where we live. We had a prayer meeting this morning along with a sermon via a video which was really good and made us think about our apathy towards things that make God upset and hunger for his own creation such as poverty, alcholism, addictions, and even church's that ignore their communities needs. There was so much more to it but it is hard to explain. we spent this after preparing for this sunday which will be spent at a MB church in a neighboring village. We are preparring testimonies, music, and even some sermons. We have already given testimonies every sunday but we (me and Jo) have yet to give a semon ourselves. Then this evening (friday) we spent split up. Jo went and taught english to some locals who work at a bank we frequent. Three ladies in their mid twenties who are not church goers. I and four others went and played our friday night soccer, but this time I brought the "A" Game. Let's just say we went on a little streak and some fancy headers, along with sweet passes and other Canadian skillz were served up as a taste for the locals. All was good and we look forward to serving the next couple days with a busy schedule of labour, travel, and preaching. Well hope ya'll enjoyed the video, hope you let us know what you think. Unless it's not good thoughts. Then keep them to yourself! In other words if you don't comment i assume you dislike me and the work we are doing, and probably even Europe. Just kidding! But seriously comment!

If it's true what you say, i think its a good thing you and jo haven't shared a "semon" yet, im not sure exactly what it is, but it kind of sounds like something you keep to yourself...

nice editing skills, videoing skills, and acting skills, i laughed the entire time. and nice apt, they really got you living in style out there. e-mail me a cupcake, they look delicious.

Not a bad place! Is that tiny thing in the bathroom the washing machine?? And the pink toilet paper is a lovely touch.

Oh yeah, and you should hear Ben say "Big screen, yeah!" just like Uncle Steve. Ha ha.

Jo, I think your videographer skills have gotten even BETTER since your debut on the Race Car Project (if that's even possible)
Steve, love that you got SOOOO into character. Every time Jo got a shot of you walking away I cracked up and thought your jeans might actually fall off :) Very Ukrainian Gangsta!

Steve, you know that it's not just gangstas who are on cribs, but nice stero-typing anyways.
And WOW! You guys live in a mansion compared to my apartment.... well done.
I too have scented toilet paper, not illegal in Korea and it's marvelous.

Love the jeans, just like Steve sported them not that long ago! I like the Crib, better than my first Crib. The Crib could use a helmet or 2 on a shelf. love pops
