Supporters!

Greetings. It has been a while since this blog has been updated. I'm incredibly sorry for that. Over the last year, I've been trying to direct you to http://www.LarsonSupportTeam.com. However, the service that provides this ability to host your own social network is no longer offering free sites. Silly, silly... SO, we are going back to this blog being the main avenue to relay updates between monthly newsletters. The social network didn't really work as I wanted it to anyway. What you guys need is an easy way to be updated, not interaction on a social network...you guys are busy enough as it is, right?

ANYWAY, what's new? I'm glad you asked. The Anderson school systems are in a mediocre uproar due to all the changes this coming school year. I say mediocre because it has died down and I don't believe it is going to be a drastic as some people choose to believe it is. After a last ditch effort failed to keep highland a high school, I think people are coming to grips with Anderson High School being the only high school. I tell you what though, I'm pumped for one main Anderson high school. Most of the kids in one place makes my job a little easier and, I think, a little more effective. Highland will turn into the town of Anderson's only middle school. So one day will consist of me hanging out at the middle school lunch periods and another will be the high school's. I will basically be able to hit up almost every student in the town of Anderson over the course of 2 days a week. I really see this a being an effective start to a more unified Anderson (which, if you live here then you understand, we REALLY need). Our corrupt former school board was replaced by a much more decent one, including a long time friend of the family and my doctor, Dr. Scott Green! Like I said, I'm pumped for this next school year.

The summer is a little more chill, but it's really the silence before the storm. This Saturday, we leave for a week in the Green Mountains of Vermont to take 22 students on a missions trip. It's going to be SAWEEEEET! After we get back, Kylee and I have a week of normalcy before heading off to ANOTHER week long high school camp. AHHH!!! I'm going to be pulling my hair out by the end... but I'm super excited to see what God is going to do. It has been an incredible ride of seeing God work and making it possible for some of this kids to go! I'm....(you guessed it)... pumped!

Thanks for all you do and I'll try to update this blog more regularly.

love,
Phil
