First day of our 10-day tour! It has been quite a day. We started out last night leaving from the Institute... We were supposed to leave around 7pm Thursday night, but our bus broke down on the way over so we it didn't arrive until about 11pm and the. We had to load it with all of Show supplies, scenery, props, costumes,ect... And then out luggage. Lets just say the goal of leaving after supper... Flew out the window and down to midnight.
Travel time to Cordoba Argentina from San Miguel del Monte (where WOL is) is supposed to be around 10 hours. We needed to arrive early Friday morning and had a very packed day planned with 5 presentations planned! Five is a lot for one day... We've ever even done 4 in one day. We do 3 a day often.. But even 3 is a packed day of only stopping at meal times, with maybe 2 hours after or before a presentation. So the only way possible to do 5 in one day is if we do it in the same place more than once (which was the plan) but since our bus didn't arrive afte supper... And we didn't get going until midnight. We couldn't make it to Cordoba in time for the morning presentations. So sadly, we missed two this morning while we were traveling as fast as we could to get there.
Traveling in the bus all night: means everyone sleeping of course. I had a seat that wouldn't lay
back at all since it was broken. So I moved to the floor right in front of our two seats. Just curled up into a ball all night and slept. It was so much nicer than a stick strait chair. Although I nearly froze in a ball down there.. But I would wake up every so often and move a bit :P hahah we call this doin what you must to sleep.
We arrived to Cordaba around 2-3 this afternoon. We ate lunch as fadt as ae could since we were so behonh schedule. We set up in a school to do the presentation. Unloading the bus, and setting up the scenery of show takes about and hour. Then the presentation itself is and hour and a half, and taking down and loading up the bus again - another hour. So it's generally about 3-4 hours in all for one presentation.
After loading up from the school we went strait to a park. Set up and started about 7pm. Finished there and loaded up to our last place of the day - and started the last one at 10pm. It was definitely the latest we've ever done a presentation, but there were lots of people waiting there before we even got there.
By the time we finished the last one. It was 1am and we sat down for supper at 1:30am.
We were all super exhausted by very hungry. Traveling in a bus 15 hours all night, sleeping in the bus, then jumping in to a full day. It was packed but we enjoyed it.
Now we are dispersed into houses of about 8 families from the church. And getting a good nights rest for another day tomorrow of 3 presentations! It will probably be able the same as today... Except they probably won't be as late since we were behind schedule from traveling. We're in these houses just one night and then we'll change again.
It was a good first day. Super packed. But full of the blessing of presenting the gospels through show :) Also tonight I could smell honey-suckles and it flew me to a spring day at home. I miss those y'all.
