Meeting - September 12, 2008

Hey guys! 

Again, sorry it took so long to get the post up; I had tons of technical difficulties getting the video and sound to work.

Hey guys,

Well, on september 5th, we watched a movie during our link leads meeting. We were originally going to watch The Color of Friendship, which is about an American and South African family and how they interact. However, Brian could not find this movie and so he decided on The Color of Freedom. GREAT MOVIE! This movie tells the story of Nelson Mandela. It is so inspiring to see the trials and tribulations he went through; and through it all, he stayed positive. His mission was to create an equal environment for all, no matter the color of skin. We haven't finished the movie yet because we ran out of time this week. Hopefully we will get to it soon because I cannot wait to see how the story continues. 

I am really excited to that we all got to experience a piece of South Africa's history through a movie. I think it makes the stories we hear and research real and personal. I am thrilled to experience this trip next summer. I am blessed to be a part of the organizing and cannot wait to see what May 2009 will hold!
