Hi it´s Anne here but really it will be Emma typing for us today as blogger extraordinaire - pressures on Emma!
Except for this which Emma will not say but you parents want to know - most everyone is well - the cold/hot changes in temperature have given us a couple of girls (Rebecca and Sara) with cold viruses/strep but they are both on medication and were well cared for at the MWC site clinic. Clara had a sore tummy last night but is doing fine today -
turning it over to you Emma from blogger desk on the left as we sit at the 8 yes only 8 computers in the internetparking garage!
Hello blog followers!
I thought I´d give you all a typical day in the life of C2Gers at world conference!

6:00 am. early morning wake up call. no one responds.
6:15 leaders try again. some responses, very groggy.
6:30 frantic shower/washroom dash, last ones remain smelly for another day
6:45 anyone going to wake up the boys?
7:00 anne bangs on door
7:02 all boys awake except Dimitri
7:10 try Dimitri again
7:15 again-we are fairly sure he is awake by now
7:28 Everyone in dining room but where is Dimitri? Dylan is sent to do the duty again
7:31 Yea! Dimitri! and Yea! 606 in 4 part harmony!
7:32 Surprise! mini hot dog buns and mysterios caramel spread with warm coffee milk ish substance - but our hosts are very nice and friendly in the morning and help us with anything, even in our early morning groggy spanish attempts. we are very thankful!
8:00 small group alphabet countdown and on to busses. Passport - check! Money belt-check! Name tag-3 people run back into rooms.
8:05 busses leave for conference.
8:06-8:40 terrifying bus ride to conference, past many local attractions including military air force training base, misc. fountains, south american football(soccer) museum, complete with soccer ball fountain, fair rides, and bus wheelies. EEKS!
9:30 youth or adult worship mad dash for best seats in the house! (or the field.....) Worship has been mostly great, but listening to translations requires a lot of brain power, and dialouge is geared often to adult in the main worship.
11:45 lunch!
11:55 run to cantina for helado! (ice cream..yum!) yes, lunch is scarfed in less than 10 min.
1:30-5 workshops or tours or naps upstairs
5:30-7:30 evening worship, including more translation head set mayhem for leaders and more relaxing and patience practicing for us youth!
7:30 headset return mayhem for leaders, and then braving the supper line
8:00 supper is done no matter where you are in the line, run to bus
8:30 still waiting for bus to leave. maybe tonight we will actually eat supper??
8:45 bus leaves.
9:30-11 general romping and games at our lovely home, rancho kokonto
11 1st bed time call attempt
11:06 most girls fast asleep.
11:30 boys room getting a late night leader visit-are us girls missing out??
12 everyone asleep until 6 the next days...

15 min. time limit over-quickly back to you Anne

great reporting Emma
until next time
buenos dias from all the c2gers at MWC
we are being stretched so much and it is so good
int the words of Fiona and Jeff - even the not great stuff is great because of all we are learning so we give thanks to God
