"This morning was a riot" (Mr G. quote) It is a bit clearer why Jesus preached from a boat. You may not know the powerful force that people can become. Did you know that you can be forced not to move because of the pressure of bodies pressing against you? Now, you may be thinking adult size mob-no, I am here to say that the mob made up of children is the most powerful. To know beforehand what wouldhappen=lets just say that nothing could've prepared us for what happened. We arrived at a school-as we got out of the bus tromones and cheers danced in the air. A pathway was made out of eager hands waiting to be shook and bodies to embrace. Everything was like crazy chaos=I went down the line and was almost to the end when the assault began. First only a few small bodies reshed out of line to embrace my legs(for that is only what their height would lallow) But then the avalanch hit-I was being pulled, tugged, grasped at-there was literally no way out and that was okay. But finally the gaurd reached through and literally yanked me through as she shouted order back to the children. We were lined up on the front row of chairs. So much beautiful noise rang out that it didn't matter that you couldn't even think straight. We sang the national anthemn while te school band banged out along with us. The presentations began-dance after dance after dance. Colors swirling together in harmony. More arms reaching! This time puliing me out along with other to the dancing coutyard. We were the accesories to these twirling skirts and tapping feet...The rush of it all as we are seated again. Another dance-and another hand pulling out out-this time to actually dance with the one who choose me. There are no words to describe it=none at all. None do justice to what that moment was like.




It ended all too soon. as we were whisked away to lunch. The lunch was held at a yach club and we were right out on the water as we ate more fish and Peruvian potatoes :)
