Harlan and I were talking a few days ago and we were trying to figure out how to get more people involved. Then we got onto the track of a project that I took over on Mission Trip:

 On Tuesday, we went to a church that needed help picking up the city of Rockford, Illinois and our group went behind the church to fill a huge pothole.
