Bananas


Since he’s growing up so fast, we gave Nathan some banana baby food the other day. We couldn’t tell if he liked it or not. He did make some funny “gagging” noises and funny faces. Do you think he liked it?

Grafitti Spanish version


Here’s a video we made for church youth group this week. The series we are talking about is called, “The Grafitti of God” (El graffiti de Dios). Israel did the rap, I found the background beat online, and most of the pictures are off of The Stock Exchange.

The idea behind the series is that God expresses His person to us many ways. Grafitti is an expression of one person to another. Here in Mexico City, we pass grafitti everyday. Often, we don’t understand what the grafitti is trying to say, nor do we understand what certain expressions of God’s character are. Many times the church seems to be speaking a foreign language. So, we’re trying to take some time this month to look at different “churchy” words and make some sense of it all. This week we talked about grace.

I used photos from the following screen names on SXC.HU: HeyFonzie, star-one, niumin, pygment2, abm, DeepBlu, rodrigoska, ericmilet, pauloperei, fowkswe, rossbr, apollokiev

So you think you can dance


How do you unwind from a long day at work? Our friends just bought the Dance Revolution game for PS2. We were over there the other night, and I thought I’d give it a try. I have video of everyone else dancing, but for now I thought I’d be nice and just post the video of me dancing. Hopefully, this will not get spread too far from home. Since it’s part of our life, I thought I’d post it. I apologize in advance.

Milwakee Sentinal Journal

We were mentioned in this article about videoblogging and also about faith. It is an interesting article that talks about how some churches are using videoblogging technology on their websites. The article mentions some churches and Aaron Flores from TheVoiz.com. He is the guy who got me started with videoblogging, and he has his response to the article here. The article says this about us:

“Then there are Dennis and Janell Poulette, a missionary couple from the U.S. who are training youth ministers at a Baptist seminary in Mexico City. They post text and video blogs of their daily lives, including their infant son, at www.ymimexico.org to keep in touch with family members and with other people who support them with prayers or donations.”
