I am soo sorry I haven't updated. I've been down with a cold with a secondary infection of bronchitis since the 20th. Before that I kinda had it, but refused to slow down. But between protesting in the cold with wet hair (see below) and going to karate and working out it knocked me flat.

Anyway, we found out on the 17th that RSU has decided to press criminal charges against Matt and Josh. On the 20th they had a demonstration. We lined the streets going up to RSU with signholders and sent a small group onto the campus to pass out flyers. Dad, BJ, Samuel, and I were signholders, and BJ and Samuel went up to the stopsign by the exit from RSU, and passed out flyers there. They started at 10, and folded it up at 2, but we only stayed till 12. By then they had already handed out 895 flyers. They've put up a real good website at www.rsusaga.com They still really need your prayers.

Mr. Murray has sure taught us a lot these last 2 lessons. We've learned a new stance, 2 new kicks, 3 new blocks, and how to turn around. It's fun though!

Well, last week Mr. McCloy called Dad. His boy Craig has been working with Character First! in the Memphis area public schools for quite a while. And basically they're in desperate need for more young adults to come and help teach character in the schools, and various after school programs. So, Samuel and I are leaving Sat. morning to start working on Monday! We'll be taking the bus, which means a 10-hr. drive. Yuck. Samuel will be coming back the first of March to have 1 quick day at home, before going to OK City, to do a 5-day long "thing" called teen-pact. (Basically it's about politics. It sounds sooo interesting!) Then I'll be coming back a week into March, when the schools start a break (spring break, I believe.).

We're all feeling terribly rushed, as we had to make the decision pretty fast, and now are having to leave pretty fast! Tomorrow we'll go shopping for some stuff we need, pack Thursday, breathe Friday, and leave Saturday. If y'all want to email us while we're there, just email it to our family address, and they'll forward it from there. We'll have 10 minutes of computer time a day there, so I'll try to give y'all quick updates, but I may get there and find out I'm way too busy. We'll see.

Mark and Jennifer's wedding is this Friday!!! Excitement at church is reaching a fevered high! Alas, Sunday I was too sick to go to church, and didn't get to meet Mark who arrived the 24th. But, Jennifer has showered everyone with enough pictures, that I'm sure I'll recognize him.

I have a million and one letters to write before I leave, so toodles!
