This past week, my boss calls me and asks what's been going on. I say, um, nothing is going on. Nothing has happened since I've been here (in L.A.). He says, yeah I figured that. (???) Then he says, I should have told you to take some time off or something. I jump on that, "Can I take Friday off then?"

Friday

It's my day off. People ask me what I did with my day off. Why is everyone so surprised that I did nothing? I ran a couple errands and just chilled. The rest of the weekend was busy.

Saturday

I went to UCLA vs. SDSU at the Rose Bowl with Rojas. I usually see about one every season. I'm not much of a sports fan, but going with Rojas makes it more fun cuz he's so live or die by it. It was a pretty good game.

Sunday

I joined my church's set up ministry. Since we meet at a high school, the church has to be set up every morning before service. The first time I went was because they needed volunteers from each Bible study to help out so I volunteered. But I saw that they really needed help every week and it was really no problem for me to be there at 8:30. They always say, "Thanks for coming SO early." Ha ha. When I went to Grace, we started that early every Sunday. It felt weird starting church at 10:30, so now I feel better about coming early to help. Anyways, this week, the youth pastor, Gavin, comes and gets me and Chane for help. None of the other youth leaders were able to make it so he needed us for their scheduled breakfast event. So we helped drive the junior high and high schoolers to the nearby burger joint.

Hanging out with the kids was alot of fun. All the guys ordered fries and a coke for their breakfast, ha ha. And one of the high school girls was like, "I don't know what to order, tell me what to order." I was tempted to say, fries and a coke, but I didn't. Anyways, I wasn't sure which group of kids Gavin wanted me to sit with so he motioned me and Chane to sit with the high school girls, and Gavin hung out with all the guys. You would think this would be somewhat of an uncomfortable situation, but this is not the first time this has happened to me. Being in Belarus for two trips and have nothing but high school girls to teach made this experience pretty normal. Ha ha. They would tell us all these funny things. "This boy when his friends are not around, he can be really nice and stuff, but when his friends are there, he's soooo immature." Ha ha. I wish I could remember more of what was said, but I can't. Gavin is still hoping the youth group with get a junior high girl to balance the junior highers out. I think that will change everything, but I doubt it will make it easier, ha ha.

Our church meets in the cafeteria of the school. At least I'm pretty sure it's the cafeteria, but there aren't any tables there. Anyways, this week the school had put up some milk ads that were a bit distracting. I would say they are only distracting because of the cool and hip image they are trying to give milk so that kids can say, "wow, milk is so cool, I'm going to drink that instead of coke!" Anyways, judge for yourself, these were the three in our church: 1 2 3 I really don't need to make fun of these with my own commentary. Just read the captions for yourself. These are funny by themselves, but imagine seeing these in your church sanctuary only adds to the humor. I guess we lucked out cuz on the website, I found some worse ones. So I'm glad we didn't have this one or this one or even this one. You can see the rest of them here. They are all pretty silly. Man, who would of thought milk could be so cool?
