Hi guys,

First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Secondly, I just wanted to let you all know that, sadly, I was not selected to be an emcee at the National Youth Gathering. I was disappointed but they sent me a very nice e-mail which convinced me that they truly spent time reviewing my application which made me feel a lot better. The e-mail is below:

Dear Tyler, 

P.S. I’m still looking forward to the National Youth Gathering

Basically..Bethlehem is coming to the Bay Area. Actually it’s been here for years. Buried in the depths of Santa Clara is a hidden jewel. The birthplace Jesus Christ recreated. Join us as we journey to this exciting territory.

The details:

Leaving from Bethel in the Bethel Bus/random cars (jk responsible drivers like Molly) at 6:30pm

Hope to see your there!

Tyler, Hannah, Megan, Michael
