I flew to Copenhagen in Denmark on October 27th and spent just over 24hrs there getting some film of the city and interviewing a few people.  It was neat to learn more about this country that I never really thought about before – including seeing some interesting architecture as seen below!  (Hover your mouse over the images for descriptions).  After a train ride under the water and over it, we made our way to Sweden and arrived in Stockholm near midnight on Thursday 28th.

Since I had more days in Sweden, the pace was a little more relaxed than it has been, which was so nice.  I went into the city a couple of times to film the area and conducted interviews throughout the few days I was there.  Stockholm is unique in comparison to its fellow European cities and I have to admit that I loved it there.  Another thing I’ve really enjoyed about these video trips this year is getting to know the missionaries better and I certainly had a good time with my friends in Stockholm.

Unfortunately, I was so focused on filming for the video project, I forgot to take any pictures of Stockholm!  I was quite disappointed when I found that out when importing pictures upon my arrival home.  However, I do have a picture of my first visit to an Ikea store – kinda neat that it ended up being in the home land!

Below is another picture I thought was interesting.  The company that designs the pedestrian signals, Prisma Teknik, says they designed it to say, There is one way to heaven, and that is Jesus Christ. Praise God for their testimony all over Stockholm!  Below is a quote from their website…

“We at Prisma Teknik are dependent on and grateful for all the good customers and suppliers we have. It is also thanks to the care from God that we have developed to be the successful company we are today. We want to have Jesus as a part in everything we do. Christian values and God’s guidance is the foundation of Prisma Teknik.”

Since getting home, it’s full swing into preparations for moving out.  Quite a lot of furniture is already gone so it’s as if we’re camping at the house now and it’s a tad chaotic!  In the middle of all this, I have two video projects I’m trying to finish off as well as import hours of video and other miscellaneous things related to finishing things up and preparing to move.  Please continue to pray for my parents and I as we have much to do these last few days in Newquay.

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster ride as the excitement of my move to Italy becomes official mixed with the daunting task of all that needs to be done before then.  I did some more filming for a local hotel that I had started filming this summer and am trying to finish off before I leave.  While doing that job, I was asked to quote for another small job.  Not sure what the outcome of that will be yet, but that was encouraging.  I also finished up the editing of the baby pictures I took last month, which you can view on this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=246912&id=190071314291&ref=mf

If, for some reason, that link doesn’t take you to the photo album and you have a facebook account, you can type in Demelza Studios and it’ll come up on that page.

I also made a good start on the packing.  In fact, I’d say that most of my things are now packed up and I won’t see them again until I’m in Italy!  There’s a lot to be done over the next few months, but it’ll be exciting to see how opportunities open up.  I leave tomorrow to visit my sister on the way to film in Scandinavia.  I’ll be visiting Denmark and then Sweden so would appreciate prayers as I travel and get as much good video as possible for the European field video.  If you can help towards funding this project, please let me know.  I’ll update you again when I return…

I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Italian team of missionaries next Spring. Please watch my VLOG below to get a full update on this summer’s video activities and future plans…

This last week has been pretty eventful.  The big event was that my sister had her baby girl on Sunday night!  She is going to be one protected little girl with 3 older brothers!  It was so lovely to be there for the birth and to photograph the event as a special memory for my sister.

The previous Thursday, I also had the opportunity to photograph another friend and her baby, which was a fun shoot out in the woods.  I’m enjoying the creative aspect of photography and hope to be able to get a few more photo shoots to add to my portfolio work as well as the video work I’ve been doing.

Time is marching on quickly and the deadline for the current video project is coming up.  Editing is going well so far, but I’d appreciate prayer that things continue to go smoothly so that I’m finished in time.
