Shopping for a cow in Kenya – get the story and video!  And speaking of big animals, take a look at a rodeo in Brazil.

Time for the cute-kid videos – check out “Papa“, fun with kids and technology, Noa and Martha perform, and for a little music try this birthday song for Mom.

The fun of language learning – I Can Barely Speak Spanish.

Try a little golf, and finally a way to travel in Haiti.

Mexico Movies has notified us that there’s an important event coming up next week – Video Blogging Week 2006!  I thought this would be a good time to highlight some past missionary video blogs, partly just to show you that it can be done and that’s it’s being done more and more often!  Why not take the time to post your first video blog next week?  It doesn’t take a lot of money and equipment.  If you have a digital camera that takes video, you’re off to a great start…

The ultra-simple way – providing a link to a video file.  This was used by the Copelands to show us thier new baby (warning – it’s a 5.82MB download)!  Also, Rogier Bos has short video posted – he wants to tell you about the video phoning capability of Skype.

Using YouTube, Amy gives us a tour of her flat in Madrid, Spain.  Also, the Burgins give us a glimpse of the life of a short term team in Bolivia.  Another example of YouTube – Meaghan’s birthday.

Using audioblog.com, how about a sermon in Portuguese?  Or a family trip to the zoo?

Google video makes it easy to post and share a trip to Xochimilco, Mexico.

Finally, the blog dedicated to videoblogging – Mexico Movies.  They’ve uses QuickTime and the Internet Archive to bring you video.  Check out this video of a Mexican street performer.

I’ve been looking forward to this one!  Recently Mexico celebrated its Independence Day (16 September).  The Poulettes have been documenting the affair in their all-movie blog, aptly named Mexico Movies.

Dennis and Jannell aren’t the only missionaries to do “vlogging” (Video Blogging), so be sure to keep your eyes open for more.  They started their vlog in March with an ultrasound of their baby, so you won’t be surprised that he has a role in the Independence Day videos!

There are two movies to check out here – first, with the Mexican national anthem, ¡Viva Mexico! Then, be a part of the party – the Mexican Independence Day Fiesta.

Please note – these movies may take a few minutes to load, especially on a slower connection.  Be patient!
