BLOG TIMES!!!!

We are officially on tour!! Travis has finally caught back up with us too. So Deep South is bigger and better than ever! We started our tour off right, we were super pumped and extremely loud as we left San Diego.



But then we had some van issues…



After we got all of that sorted out we were on the road with fellow roadie teams Texas, Mid-Atlantic, and Florida! We finally made it to Las Cruces, New Mexico 6 hours after we said we would… Oops.

However we had the opportunity to meet Thad, who was great! We can not wait to see him again on our way back through.

Check out Thad and his awesome dog:


We were back on the road and after the painful 16 hrs of driving through Texas, we made it to the Sommers house. (Bethany’s family!) We got a really great night of sleep and had a great time. We met Kent, Ian, Ted, and Nick. Plus many more, they were great.

Then we were off to Mobile, AL. Where we met the incredible Alan Waugh. He was amazingly hospitable and took us in at 3:00 in the morning, then showed us around beautiful Mobile. Alan took us to his favorite place in Mobile. Spot of Tea, it was absolutely delicious and Marshall had his first sweet tea experience.

This is Alan, We can not wait to go back to see him!



Then we went to Atlanta, were we stayed with the Riley’s for Two days. Jackie Campbell, Brendon Horgan, and Kelly Cullpepper had home made fajitas with us on the second night. They are absolutely incredible and we can not wait to spend more time with them.

Then we had our first screening which was at Berry College, Hether was amazing! She made us delicious Pumpkin Bread, and took us to Waffle House. (It was Beth’s first time, she loved it of course!)

The next morning we went to Lambert High School, where we met Charlotte, Allie and many more. Then we were able to go to Oxford College at Emory. We met Tabitha, Betty, Katie, Will, and so many others. That school blew our mind! That night we went back with Charlotte’s family and stayed with them. They are amazing and we love their dog too, we wanted to take him on tour.


The next day was Milton High School, we met so many amazing people like Rachel, Bailey, Makaila, and Robert! You can check out more about MHS in the video. We get to see them again soon and we are so excited about that!

Then we made the trip to South Carolina and went to Riverside High School. Ben, Natalie, Amy, Charlene, and Ms. Moore were awesome in so many ways! They were incredibly kind and we instantly became best friends with them!

WE PICKED UP TRAVIS. It’s true he came back to us from northern Uganda, we are so happy to have him back!

Christian Heritage School was Friday, that school blew us away! We walked in and instantly felt at home they were so kind right off the bat and were just excited to have us. Caty had done such an amazing job and people at her school really want to get involved now! Her and her mom were incredible, and we are so glad we get to keep in touch with them.

Covenant College was Friday night, this school is take your breath away. It is so beautiful, and the people are incredibly kind! Rachael, Emily, Sophy, Anne, Andrew, Chris, Hannah, and so many others that we met made us feel so loved. We can not express how grateful we are to have met all of you! We are so excited for your new S4S club!


Sunday was Marietta First United Methodist, this screening was so amazing. We met Sarah, Shane, Jason, Laura, Bryan, and so many others who were awesome. We hung out with them for quite some time, and then went and stayed with the Allred’s who were super incredible and opened their home to us. We can not thank them enough, even though we tried.



Monday… Bring on the rain!!! Parkview was closed which bummed us out a little bit, because we have not gotten to meet Cloe yet! However we will soon, so with tons of roads closed and 19 inches of rain we made the drive to Alpharetta High School. Sara and Olivia were absolutely amazing, it was Olivia’s birthday. We are so thankful for them and what they are doing in their Schools 4 Schools club.

Thank you everyone for being so awesome, you are all so incredible and I wish I could write a novel on you all, for those we haven’t met yet. WE CAN NOT WAIT TO MEET YOU!

Enjoy the Video, Talk to you soon…

San Diego!

So yesterday I arrived in San Diego, When I landed I met up with my two awesome team mates, Beth, and Lauranne, along with Jenn, Andrea, Adam, Josiah, Faith, and Hailey. Apparently, my spiritual animal is a sheep dog. Thanks Hailey! And her initials are HSM. Thats mainly exciting for aubre and megan haha.


Then I moved into the house. It's like the real world on steroids. 60 people living in a house. But it is super awesome. It is really funny, some people love toms, some people don't like toms. It has definitely been one of the heated discussions. But it is all good, I still like mine.


Anyway, tonight we have our first assignment we don't know what it is yet, but Beth and I think its going to be a team building exercise, Which would be awesome. Anyway off to explore San Diego,

Enjoy this video.

DEEP SOUTH

I got the deep south tour with three amazing people! Beth, Lauranne, and Travis. Im excited beyond words. Thats all I got. Im too excited to type. Love yall!!!!

First Blog Entry.

Soo I have never done a straight up blog like this before. I have myspace but that is about as close as I can get. But I made this so my friends and family could follow my progress as I stay on the road with Invisible Children, as well as monitor my own progress.

I have been given the chance to intern for this organization and for which I am very pleased.

August 3rd I will be flying out to San Diego where I will move into the Roadie house with tons of other interns. I have already talked to several of them! I'm soo excited I got my new bros, Stephen and Josiah, and some pretty sweet ladies I have talked to like Lauranne, Jes, and Hoops.(haha jk) Sweet Tea is going to reign in Cali!!!! I'm super pumped to share this experience with them.


Sean what will you be doing????

Well I am going on the road, showing the current Invisible Children movie, as well as talking to and answering questions from all the people who see it. So while I am in San Diego training and setting up for this tour I will get a chance to work at the IC office. Then its van city!! I'm really freaking stoked...


Until then! I will be raising support because this is an unpaid internship. I need my friends and family to chip in if they can to help me do this! If you have no money. Prayer and emotional support is seriously just as important!!! Let me know your praying for me. It fills the heart with gladness!

Love you guys. Ill update soon where I am going!
