Johnny and Barbara,
Oh, I will hope and pray that it works. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna plant one too even though I don't need to sell it in order to move to TV but it sure will help with the financial obligations.
Don't forget you need to dig the statue up and place it in a prominent location in the new home (I'd clean it off first).
Don't forget the prayers, here's the website I found (and I'm sure I'm not alone)
