Scorpions, snakes, and sweaty scouts....

Hey everyone, this is Tyler checking in and posting his blog..... it is officially day 4 in texas and day one of the real film..... it sucks! I am in the middle of the hot desert with scorpions, snakes and sweaty scouts. Fun? Well, if you're interested, you can check out what happened on a future blog when I post the video and such. The food is at least decent, however I am finding the heat a bit much. Although, we had an amazing experience this weekend. We got to the camp Saturday night and we were preparing for the arrival of the LDS encampment as well as President Charles Dalquist (SP?) to arrive. It hasn't rained in over 8 months! The last time it rained only 1/2 inch and that was in october. We were instructed to pray for rain, and as we did so we heard thunder. The forecast said no rain, and they sure weren't expecting a crowd of over 400 LDS members to pray for rain. It rained that night a 8/10 inch and it boasted a lightning and thunder display truly awesome to experience. The next day (Sunday) we were delighted with the presence of President Dalquist and another 2 inches!! Today (monday) we were told to stop praying or else camp might be swept away in a flash flood.... cool experience. Anyway, the film is a bit more difficult than I thought and I am missing the comfort and support of Lacey with me. I can't wait to see her. Until next time, thanks for reading........
