Train & Multiply
We made great progress this week in T&M! I spent four hours this week being trained in the finalization process for booklets. This involves a 43-step process of checking master pages, text, formatting, cartoons, and tags for any errors that might have cropped up. Fixing these errors lessens the likelihood of problems in printing and readability and increases the aesthetic value of the booklets.
Needless to say, this is a big job. 43 items of varying frequency that have to be checked individually in 34 booklets and the Student Activity Guide. (And that's just for the first set. It becomes 64 booklets when you add in the second set.) This should keep me busy for quite a while. But I can't take forever because the guys in Japan want to use these booklets yesterday. And they still need to check the art to make sure there aren't any issues related to the tsunami. (Our original art for Noah's Ark has people in the water outside the boat. It's a little triggery for people who actually lived through similar things only a few years ago.) We're happy to change it, but every change takes time.
I've also been doing more with the T&M app. It's in beta mode, so I've been playing around with the app and making sure it's an intuitive process. We're also streamlining how people get booklets.
And everything has to be uniform.
Chapel
Tuesday's chapel was Tim Roehl. He preached on Psalm 86:10. It was quite good. He also has several books for sale on coaching and one that formed the basis of our Easter presentation last year.
I missed Thursday's chapel because I was in training. But Carolyn Knight gave some good advice on evangelism techniques.
Other Projects
More annual report consulting. Foster's doing a great job and making it look pretty.
We also did some radio recording this week. Jason and I recorded two ads for conference. They will be playing on several stations around the country, so it's a big deal.

Busy week, and even more ahead. Enjoy the weekend, folks!
