Day 19: Getting Back To It


Today we got back to work. We were split up into groups for the morning. We were given assignments to go and get some photos around the compound. After lunch we were each assigned roles for the rest of our time here. I am on the App team; we will be designing the YWAM Harpenden App. I am also in charge of lighting for photo stuff and will be doing some comp photos of the space we’re designing.


After work today my buddy Max and I shot our other buddy Austin. We had him do some skateboard tricks and I set up a couple flashes while Max took some video. It was a lot of fun doing some personal work. All we’ve been shooting is nature and street photography. It felt great to do something with a little more of a commercial feel. After that we went up to dinner. After dinner we came back down and Austin and I did a little climbing on the tiny climbing wall they have here. It wasn’t anything spectacular but it felt good to at least climb a little. I’m going to try and make that more of a regular thing to get in some training before Fontainebleau, which is where Austin and I are going climbing after the trip.

It’s crazy to think there are only ten days left here in Harpenden. It has gone bye so fast, but also very slow. Things go slow as they are happening, but when I look back, it has gone by fast. I have been learning a lot while here. It is strange to look at how much I have learned through this experience already. I feel like I have even changed in this short time. Certain events have the power to change a person and I feel as though that has happened to me. But I’m still here experiencing this, so it is a strange feeling. I’m so thankful I am here and I am so thankful to everyone that helped get me here. The Lord is teaching me a lot, some of which I can’t believe. I never thought in a million years that He would teach me some of the things I’ve been learning. I can see the culmination of numerous smaller lessons into this grand one. And I love Him dearly for His lessons.
