4/30/2012: fireside chaos

hey familia!!

well this week has been crazy. we have been doing more fireside work then missionary work haha. it... is... no bueno... so stressful. so on saturday (day before the fireside) sister mckee called us and said she wants a video playing while a missionary is singing the song "his hands" and she wanted it to match with what he is saying. so my companion was working on the programs, so he made me do the video. i found one on youtube, but during certain parts it was cheesy and had, like, the stars and the earth and the sun and then it cut to these ppl dressed in white shaking hands. so i couldnt use that haha. so instead i went and dissected the video and got all the info on what little scene is playing at what time. then went and found all of them online and compiled them into the same video as youtube, but replaced the weird parts with just normal scenes about His hands. it was pretty sweet. 

but i couldnt figure out how to get it to a dvd... i tried for 4 hours. no luck. so i had to call Sister ____ (she is a videographer) and she was like, "ok, i can talk ya through it, or i can just do it." and i was like "ummm well...." and she just said, "ill do it" hahaha. so she put it on a dvd and was gunna give it to a missionary in her ward to bring to the fireside.... but the missionary didn't get it. so i was like crap. when i got to the fireside we also realized that we left the programs back in clarksville... and we were in murfreesboro... double crap. hahaha. so i had to call the lady, have her put the video up on youtube, figure out the wifi password by asking tons of ppl for it, go and basically reprint the programs at the church's library... it was hectic and pure chaos. but the fireside ended up to be awesome :) everyone loved it :) it kinda stinks though bcuz everyone was like, "oh man, if i knew it was this good... i would have invited everyone i knew." so next time they will know :) 

and yes mom my shoes fit and i got a new suit and had lots of compliments on it yesterday :):) thank you :):) kinda bummed the garrisons weren't at the fireside :( but that's otay. they be busy. well i love y'all!! im jealous about the dodger game. soon enough though (that wasn't meant to sound trunky at all...) stay classy!! miss y'all!!
