One more run!


One last push and several hundred more homes saw those young faces today. With a crew of boys and a reward of Starbucks we busted out over 300 houses in about 4 hours. We had a highly efficient method, I shall call "Jump-and-Run"! It starts with the lift gate up, the seats laid down and about 4 boys in the back. Begin calling out house numbers from the walk list, the boys yell back the numbers, grab literature, jump and run! And the really amazing part...they actually enjoyed this! Oh, to be young!

Back at head quarters we ate dinner and received a briefing on how things will play out tomorrow. Basically, we will be manning the polls with teams of 2 and passing out literature before voters walk inside to vote. We have our legislated 150 foot tether we must stay within, but other than that, anyone who will talk to us is in bounds.

Every student is anxiously looking toward tomorrow evening to see if their hard worked made a difference. Without knowing what the results will be or how the country will respond after the election, I know beyond a doubt that they did make a difference! For that I say, "Congratulations! You are amazing and have done great works!"
