What's better than knowing a person who works at a theme park and can get you in for free? Knowing TWO people who work at TWO different theme parks and can get you in for free! What a blessing!
My soon-to-be stunt performer brother skippers the Jaws ride at Universal Studios. Since he worked half a day on Saturday he got me in the park and we were able to hang out afterwards. It was cool being a passenger on his boat. I was a little reluctant at first recalling our childhood days in Belen where he'd pile up all the couch cushions and we'd play "boat." More often than not I'd end up falling overboard. But since losing passengers on this vessel meant losing his job, there'd be nothing to worry about, haha.
It was more than just a fun-filled free day. As I wandered around the park, a woman approached me asking if I'd like to take a survey. After meeting the requirements she took me into a room full of television screens where I got to watch an upcoming prime time network show and play TV critic. The show itself isn't much worth mentioning, but I was compensated $15 for my time! Could I be both the first person ever to wear long johns in Florida AND the first person to come out ahead after a day at an amusement park?
Later, Jake and I watched the Sinbad stunt show. He starts rehearsing for his character, Kebab, next week.
A few days later my cousin, who's gonna be in a big Disney parade, got me into the Magic Kingdom.
On Sundays we drive to Eustis for 10 o'clock service at my brother's church, Calvary Chapel of the Lakes. It's a neat friendly fellowship headed by Pastor Doug Teel. He sings at Disney too!
It looks like God's not finished with me in Europe yet. A few weeks earlier I had spoken to a pastor regarding an internship at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Montebelluna, Italy. We got in touch recently and it looks like I'll be spending a while along the Mediterranean! We're leaving the length of time open, depending on provisions and such, but I'm really looking forward to serving in Italy! I thank the Lord for providing me with the means and resources (the cost of the flight was amazing!) and please keep me in your prayers--that I abide in the Lord's guidance and that He can use me in a fruitful way out there.
Perhaps while I'm there, I'll get to see my cousin Diegoccini.
