We left at almost 5 p.m. and immediately found that our old nemesis, the straps binding the hamburger to the top of the van, were going to hum throughout our trip, unless we did something. By Frederick, we stopped to check the tires, add and reduce pressure in tires, and (thankfully) re-tied the straps. So, we actually stayed sane throughout the trip!
The driving was adventurous: rain, fog, mountain roads, and a van full of crazy WAIT members. We played "radio roulette." (We made it up.) We named a certain musical genre, and people had to create original songs in that style. We had a great reggae number by Kensei, some J-Pop by Harmony, and opera by Rachel.
We arrived at 2:30 a.m. and it was daylight savings, so we had to sleep quick. At 10, we were at church service. We did a song (Reach Out) and showed the first WAIT webisode and I gave a short talk on love. Aunt Joy Masuda, an Ohio WAIT parent, introduced me to a powerful and God-inspired person, Sunshine, who wants to bring WAIT to the schools and churches, and who gave a really strong talk of encouragement. Then we had marriage education (and powerpoint) in the afternoon, and later, Ohio WAIT performed for us and we did for them, then we did more radio roulette challenge with folks from both teams. Very funny. Dinner at the Beckers, and arrangements for tomorrow's events. Also, Ohio did a great Pure Talent Showcase on Saturday, with three acts and about 45 people there. I think that made a great foundation.
Il Seuk is doing a great job, and is supported by Andreas, Alan, and a bunch of other really good members. Aunt Joy is great, and the
Beckers have organized things very well too, so we are being well taken care of. We're tired (very) and aren't making much sense right now, but miss you all. Please send this on to others.
Much love,
Kate
