Sunday: CA Update

Hello Again! :)

Okay, so this morning we got up early and Saphrin and I headed to Wal-Mart to get juice and ran by McDonald’s to get some breakfast foods for everyone. After we ate, all of us came together for a devotional time, each of us prayed for the person on our right and spent the morning in thinking and sharing. Then we packed up and headed to Hollywood to get some interviews for the documentary.

As far as the interviews, Saphrin and Alan were able to get around eight people total to talk to in relation to the, “measure of a man,” “roles of man,” and what “true success is in a person’s life.” We were able to capture a lot of footage and enjoyed every minute of being able to ask people what their own personal thoughts were. It was very hard at first with the responses we received, but as time went on, people started getting interested with the project and were more open to being interviewed by Saphrin and Alan.

We were out on the Sunset strip, all afternoon, and afterwards we packed up and went in search of a place to eat. We found a pizza and pasta place that had amazing food! We were all very grateful to sit, laugh and relax after a long afternoon of worrying about our very expensive equipment and having to move our cars every hour so that we wouldn’t have our cars towed.

Then we headed out to find a beach! That’s when things got interesting… LOL! We got extremely lost, confused, worried and had to do SO MANY u-turns that it became a riot! We laughed so hard and just decided to roll down the windows, turn up the music and just sing our little hearts out! Finally, after an hour and fifteen minutes of driving randomly, we eventually made it to our desired destination! It was a beautiful beach, quite dark outside but still it was worth it to put our feet in the icy water and run aimlessly.

Now, we are back at the hotel, we are all pretty wiped but very excited about our plans for tomorrow! We have to be at Nick’s house around 7:30am and shoot until dinner. We have a full day ahead of us packed with questions, places to go, people to meet. Nick has a meeting around 9am at his Life Without Limbs office and Tuesday will come before we know it.

This trip has been so God ordained and so exciting for me to see everything falling into place. I just still can’t believe it’s all happening! Prayer has been our strength that has been carrying us through. Please continue to pray for us. Cover this project in prayer from the safety of us traveling, to God’s favor resting upon this documentary, from the words that are spoken to who sees this film in the future. We want every aspect of this project to be glorifying to the Lord!

I’m going to close for now, blessings all,
Stephanie
