Our group found some time to meet before class on wednesday which is the first time all three of us have met together at the same time. We discussed our schedules and how we might find some way to work around school and our jobs so that we could find atleast one permenant time we can meet each week. My work schedule is a little tricky because it changes weekly but I think Thursdays are going to be our best bet. We also discussed the topic itself and where we stood as far as progress goes. We are going to meet Friday morning to watch the documentary Nobody's Business which will hopefully give us some insight into certain styles as we are kind of struggling to choose one of our own. Though we have decided that mentoring will be our topic and Dr. Bennett will no doubt become a case study, we would like to find a way to also focus on the idea and purpose of mentoring in itself as opposed to just documenting Dr. Bennett's intentions in mentoring. This has already proven to be pretty difficult. We briefly discussed what positions each of us may be interested in crew-wise and decided we will probably just shuffle around as far as researching and camera operation goes. I felt a little overwhelmed before class but once we finished discussing everyones potential projects and finding interviewees and styles I felt better as we had talked about a good portion of those things prior to class. Though there is still a lot to be done I am now a little more at ease with our current progress which I hope will help me focus more on what to do next instead of what to catch up on.

You guys are doing great Jake. Definatley don't feel worried. Right now all you have to be doing is research and planning...and you guys are on the track and then some. Also, I would love to meet with your group at some point to talk about the project. Maybe help with research ideas and starting points. Let me know when you're ready.

Do the laymen mentor only people who are going into the ministry, or do they mentor all men who come to them in need of mentoring?

I think that the regular meeting time is a good idea. I think if at all possible, our group should do the same. I understand about the changing schedule but blocking off time will probably increase the quality of your project a ton.
