Hi Everyone,

I wasn't here awhile, and had a hard time to catch up with all the comments. Let me take one step at a time.

CD

the list of songs was being updated and the May practice was the last time I remember we have done any editing to it.

You Saved me
Your Grace still amazes me
Learning to Lean,
Holy City
Each One, reach One
I Surrender All
Jesus Loves me (or different children song)
Marnotratny syn
Zpevy zni
Kdyz jsem uslysel jmeno Jezis

In a reality we have a music for first six songs, and that is the number of songs we could have on a CD at this point unless we look for different songs with a soundtrack.
I am getting to the conclusion that the time to be able to prepare the CD has expired. In saying that I want to express a great disappointment, that we are not going to have a CD, especially because I believe that would have been the best gift by far we could give to our mom. There is another alternative, and we could record our Sabbath morning presentation on a video and evening concert as well, and have someone to make a DVD, and that could be a good option instead the CD.
Tomas made 3 soundtracks for us and I want to ask him how much we will pay for it, but we need to pay him for doing those 3 soundtracks.

ASI

good idea, I will support singing there. The question I have is, what will we sing there, are we going to use songs from the list of songs we wanted to sing at the concert or do we need to look for a new sons, when do we have a time to practice?

A few words at the conclusion

We are planning this event now for at least 8 months. This was suppose to be something special we wanted to do for our mom. We can't change what happened in past, but we need to look forward and put the effort to make it happened. Eva, contact your siblings that have and experience with a green card process. There is essentially no time to waste. As Zigi said a few months ago, the trip will not be the same if one of us is missing. Financially we all are in very similar boat. It is hard for all of us, and we all have to make some adjustments, and sacriffices. But it is woth is. I am sure one day we all will be happy we have done it.

And one last thing....We all see what is happening in this country lately. Before this summer started, some of the publishing leaders were very skeptical about how the downfall of economy, gas prices and other things will influence the success of canvassing. And I have to tell you, things that have happened this past summer, things that are taking place now, all the blessings, books are going out more then ever before.....I can see how God is protecting and blessing His work, we might see a recession in the economy, but His work is not slowing down. I believe this project by His grace with His help will be a success. We need to do it to HIS glory.

Have a great day

Rene
