Failure:

This was supposed to be the day when the first payment was due, I think it was the payment for plane tickets, but it turns out that almost everyone who wanted to go suddenly dropped out. We have maybe five from last year and two new ones. Danny Joe and Tyler. It seems like it is going to be very hard to get interest in missions for some reason this year. CBC had more than seventy-five applications last year alone and we have seven...

I don't understand why people don't want to go, maybe they are scared by Brother's amazing man beard. Or, maybe they just need to be made aware of the mission opprotunity by a more reliable source. It can't sound good to have two seniors come up and ask you about whether you want to run away to mexico for a couple weeks... Note to whoever takes me and Trevor's place next year. Make sure you get the administration involved in promoting this mission. Obviously kids need more encouragment to commit to leaving the country than I can give them.
