Hi, Megan.  When you get this, it'll be your last day.  Are you glad or sad?  I hope it has been a fun time for you and a winning time. 
We went to see Jerry Coleman's parents today. 
We got lost going down, but finally found them.
It was a good time, but a long day.
Hope to see you soon!!!
Love you,  Grandma M

<>Dear WeMoSt Quizzers,  <>Hope things are going well for all of you.  You have so many opportunities for varied experiences, as well as having hidden God’s Word in your hearts!
 
<>Believe it or not. . . . . My last Bible Quiz “Nationals” in Winona Lake, IN and my last quizzing experience was 50 years ago!!! Can you believe it?  At that time I was quizzing with the Miami First FMC (FL) team and I was one of the supporting members of that team.  I wasn’t as good as the “big guns” but it was a wonderful experience, and I’ve even run across photos to prove it, too!  <>Yes the times have changed, and the rules, strategies, etc are all VERY different, but the end product is the same!  Keep Up the good work!!  We’re rooting for you! 

God bless you all as you quiz, brush up on facts, meet new people, play games, and just get to know a bunch of new kids, that you may run across some day when you go to college, or attend another church.  A favorite word among a lot of us is    CONNECTUALISM ….  Don’t quite understand?  As Lana or Holly and they’ll explain it to you J    

  <>GO .  .  .  .  .  .  WeMo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’re praying for you to have a great experience and win when you can!!

HEY GUYS!!!!!!

<>So! I haven't really heard how you are doing, but from reading the other posts (like that Kathy posted) I guess you had a good day Tuesday yea??
Well, regardless-- Remember that no matter what happens-- DON'T BE UPSET WITH THE RESULTS!Sure, ya wanna place and get a trophy to represent your hard work. However, I used to quiz, and looking back-- the friends I made and the laughs we all shared, through the wins and the loses, mean more than a trophy will ever mean.

Love you all SOOOOO much and keep up the good work. Have a good last couple of days. Excited to see you all soon!!

We are very proud of you for hiding so much of the book of John in your minds and hearts.  It has been fun, very exciting, and quite tense in moments watching you jump and share all that you have learned.  Remember, you already have the treasure.  The competition is just a bonus.  Enjoy the next few days, make lots of friends, and HAVE FUN!!!

 to Mike Birdsall, coach of the Living Hope in Renton, WA team.

John - We are so excited that in your last year as a team member that you were able to go to Nationals & have done so well. Next year we are hoping you take your talent & dip it into the pool of coaching. Wouldn't Peggy make a good partner in this? No pressure of course!

Stefan -You have such a way with the Word when you quote. Listening to you at the Quote-a-Thon brought a tear & then laughter. You feel His Word & it shows in the quotes. Bring that passion to competition & nothing will stop you!

Alexa - I love you baby! Your first year has been so successful & next year will be even better! I am so proud of what you have accomplished. As they said after one of the meets where you took individuals first place, "You devour the competition!" They won't know what hit them!

Mike - Thank you for all you have done for our kids this year. You were an inspiration to them & guided them along in just the way they needed. You care & it shows! I am glad Alexa had a chance to study the Word under your direction! Thanks for being a part of my village.

We don't do luck guys - we do God! So know that we are praying for you & wishing you well through him that is in us! Work hard, make friends, have fun! That is what it is all about as you study Christ's life through the Gospel of John! Next up, Hebrews plus I & II Peter, correct? Are you ready?! Well, maybe get through competition on the Gospel of John first? J
