To Serve and Protect.

Alot can happen when you're touring across the country. Including awkward run-ins with "The Fuzz", who don't know our motives for writing Invisible Children in huge creepy letters on the side of a sketch-master black van.

Its been 6 weeks since our first exchange with The Law, and 3 encounters later team Mt. West is still ticket free.

And while all adventures with the 5-0 are worthy to share, one experience definitely stood above the rest - so much so - that we felt it necessary to document as an example of how all of us should strive to interact with America's everyday heroes.

The Streamer Eater

Hello everyone!

It is delightfully cold, overcast, and misty here in Denver, and the team is in high spirits. Last night marked the halfway point of our 10 week, 7 state tour, and I couldn't be more stoked with the way things have gone. With this overwhelming challenge has also come an equally mind blowing amount of adventure, support, growth, and blessing, and I can't thank all of you enough. There is much to share, and I'm excited to be getting a little out there.

This begins the long overdue collection of video updates - and also introduces our 5th team member! Prepare yourselves for a shocking audiovisual masterpiece... (my 1st iMovie project)

Be the change,

Collin

Welcome to The Road.

Hello friends,

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I know its hard to believe, but I've got quite a bit going on, so I'm gonna try and catch everyone up with a Video Update. Hooray for iMovie! Be watching, as I'm hoping to get it up this weekend.

Today we close out the first week of Tour, but it feels like a month. The IC staff told us to "leave it all on the road", and I'm beginning to realize what that means.

Sleep is an absolute luxury.

Wednesday night I passed out with:

gum in my mouth

my clothes still on

my shoes still on

no blanket

no pillow

half my body on a couch.

By Thursday night, our entire team was in a silly state of delirium, and everybody at The Olive Garden probably thought we were high.

We have already impacted so many lives, and I can still be doing a better job: serving more, showing more gratitude, loving better, being more humble, etc.

I continue to be inspired and pushed by my team, and the people we are meeting are nothing less than shocking.

I've never felt this overwhelmed/challenged, but also driven/determined, and also filled/blessed/rewarded.

Welcome to the road.
