This is non-involvement?

Tiffany went to Manang Rebecca's today to explain to her that we were willing to be her companions to the youth convention in NWLD tomorrow but that we didn't want to have a high level of involvement. This is because we've never done school promotions like this, nor have we ever been in a gathering like this. Tiffany returned to the house with the news that Rebecca wanted me to preach the sermon. She told Manang Becca that I might be over shortly to protest.

Shortly, I was. Manang Becca was visiting the Bermudezes and was sitting in their front yard.
