I wanted to share with you all a cool "planting the seeds" story with you from Nationals this year: Last summer a young man who used to be a part of our church youth group moved to Russellville, AR two hours away from where Nationals was in Rogers, AR. He is friends with all three boys who came to Nationals from my group. We picked this young man up on Wednesday on our way to Nationals just to hang out with his friends while we were in the area. He had never played Redemption and had no interest in it when he lived here in Oregon even though I invited him to the group. He showed up to Nationals on Thursday and by the end of the day had become quite interested in the game even though he had never played. He bought a whole box of Cloud of Witnesses on Thursday and that night opened it and pulled a copy of The Second Coming. All three teens in my group were excited for him and helped build him a deck of his own even giving him some of their own cards to make it happen. They stayed up late teaching him to play the game. On Friday he played Type 1 and played all 10 rounds. He even managed to win a game. He is a big fan of Redemption now and has been connected with the local Arkansas play group. His story is the highlight to me out of all of Nationals this year.

Let us all clear both YTG and Terry Markoff of their vendor tables by going home today with all their products. There will most likely be a bit more discounts as both stores try to lighten their loads back home. Make a leap of faith w ur wallets, plastics, and pay apps to make ur final purchases before they pack up for the day. Thank you Andy and Terry for providing us with amazing goodies!!!

Per John E (quote):
