Prague (September 17) - Outreach!

September 17

FIRST OUTREACH DAY!

Moving a car, Czech style

Today was the first day we actually spent out in the tents, doing art and starting conversations with people.  We arrived early in the morning to set up the three tents, only to find that the place set up for us in the parking lot was completely different from what we were expecting.  After some talks with the store managers, we were able to get things straightened out, but only after getting some of the cars parked there moved.

I was glad I was there helping with the tents, since they were exactly the same design as the "Easy-Up" tents I've used at several shows, only instead of 10' x 10', these were 10' x 20' (technically, 3m x 6m).

Rain won't stop us!

The morning was cold and on-and-off raining.  High was 11°C (51°F), and that was when the sun came out in the afternoon!  Nevertheless, we started working on different pieces.  There weren't a lot of people stopping by, but hopefully, once we get things going a little better and have some art for people to actually see, and the weather turns a little warmer again, we will see more people.

Keep praying for heath.  Of the two Amys, the one who was sick earlier stayed home today (since it was so cold we didn't want her to get sick again), and the second Amy had a really bad upset stomach!

Pray for warmer, more inviting weather, and for people to see what we are doing and feel curious and stop by.
Pray for meaningful conversations with people.
We will be starting the free art workshops later in the week, so pray those go well, and that many people will be interested enough to come back.
