Updates!

So it turns out that the three events in on week thing isn't gonna work out. The main event we're planning at this point is a concert/retreat type thing with J-T playing and Abe Olson giving talks. A while back, Pat Murphy was telling me about a couple guys who go around the country with the idea that "high school students can actually do stuff!" Apparently, they typically have around 2,400 students at these rallies or whatever you want to call them. The way they get so many people is by inviting youth groups in whatever area they're in. Our method of inviting people to our things is by individually trying to spread stuff by word of mouth. This has never really worked out for us. Pat heard about these two guys' method and we decided to adopt this method. We currently currently have a plan to invite about 140 youth groups to this concert. This could very well end up being the biggest Action event in Action history. Personally, I think the thing that might help youth groups to decide to come is the fact that it's free. It's quite a small chance that all the youth groups will come. We're hoping for at least 100 people to come. not 100 youth groups, but 100 people. Personally, I think we'll get a lot more than that, but some people don't want to get their hopes up, I guess. Hopefully, we'll have a good turnout.

With regards to my house. I'm still living at my grandparents' house, even though about a month ago I said we would probably be back within 2-4 weeks. At this point, we have someone scheduled to come and clean our house of mold a week from Friday. The week after that, we'll be painting the inside of that house, and hopefully move back in the following week. So probably another 2-3 weeks. I'm excited to move back.

Well, that's all for now. God bless.
