One of the events planned for the KY group was to do a folk concert on the plaza in Cerro Placeres, Valpariaso. Since it was the 4th of July, a combination of American hymns and folk songs were appropriate for the occasion. We sang America the Beautiful, classics like Yankee Doodle, and even a Bob Dylan number. Thanks to my cousin Jerry, minister of music at First Baptist London, we were sounding pretty good.
Unfortunately, nothing went how we would have anticipated. The puppets were left at the house, so we stalled…it began to rain…there was a big soccer match on TV so the crowd was very small…there was a fight over a camera being stolen…not exactly what we had pictured. But, we were able to see real life and needs on that hill that day. Perhaps some kind of testimony in sticking it out was seen by those who were present.
