Ned Erickson: UPDATE Week of July 8

JULY ACTION

We picked up Anna Rose from Camp Cheerio on Saturday

A Plug for Christian McConnon.

Fellows Alum Christian McConnon speaks at NCS about his Fellows experience and his new job!

It was an eventful week for the Fellows Director and his family.

On MONDAY, we finished moving. (Let me know if you need movers - we now have a guy!)

On TUESDAY, we deep cleaned the old house just in time for four showings. (I sent Lia and David up to Columbus for our annual Fourth of July trip and stayed behind to deal with boxes and contractors.) I then spent a few hours at the New Office!

On WEDNESDAY, I had a great meeting with Truett Williams at Calvary Baptist, visited friends at the New Young Life Office across the street, then headed downtown for a couple hours before driving up to Camp Cheerio to surprise Anna Rose!

Camp Cheerio's big day of the year is the Third of July (they call it TOJ). There is a big community cookout, skits, and fireworks!

Come on Dad. Stop taking pictures!!!

TOJ

On THURSDAY, I spent a few hours up at the mountains before heading back to town to prep for another showing and for Lia and David to get home.

It's a long story. But I get tot he house and turns out our washer was dripping the last couple days and I had an hour to dry up a big puddle in our carpet. I call the realtor. She cancels the showing. I send out a desperate plea to a few prayer warriors. I stop the drip. Get towels from the new house. Dry. There is a knock at the door. The folks with the showing come anyway. I explain the situation. They want to see the house anyway. I give them a tour. It's a wonderful family. Just who we've been praying for. They look right past the drip and make an offer on Friday. We signed the contract. PRAISE THE LORD! The one day our house isn't perfect - the perfect people show up. Amen.

Meanwhile, Lia and David are enjoying Upper Arlington and the 4th!

Lia's sister got to be part of a proposal. No. She didn't know the people! Ha!

On FRIDAY, it was a full day of meetings. We have a few potential Fellows coming down the pike. Praying for 3-4!

On SATURDAY, we picked up Anna Rose.

On SUNDAY, I was working on building a carport at the new house and sliced my leg.

I'd show you the picture of the cut but it would make some of you pass out

Eight stitches later, I've been told to take the week off running. Not cool. I'll give it a day or two and reassess. #goodpatient

RECRUITMENT

We have one outstanding offer (double meaning intended).

We have an interview we are hoping to set up for Tuesday.

We are awaiting an application from a guy I had coffee with on Friday.

COME ON!!!

I'd love a few more applicants. Let's go!
