3:45 – they come tell us that it’s time to go. (weird, because they NEVER leave early)
3:46 – pastor honks the most obnoxious car horn in the world.
3:47 – he honks it again. Apparently we’re too slow.
3:50 – we get to the van, put our stuff in the back, and…wait.
4:00 – still waiting. Pastor is nowhere in sight.
4:13 – we finally get in the van.
4:14 – the six of us are followed into the 15-passenger van by 15 more passengers.
4:16 – we’re not leaving, the van is getting hot, and the smell of BO is atrocious.
4:18 – I can’t take it anymore and promptly exit the van.
4:18:01 – the rest of the white folks quickly follow my lead.
4:23 – pastor finally comes; he honks the loud obnoxious horn with me leaning against the front of the van.
4:23:05 – after recovering my hearing, I pray to God for the strength to push the van over on top of the pastor.
4:23:10 – I take the prayer back and instead ask Him for patience. It is not granted.
4:24 – after climbing back in the van, the pastor gets a phone call and leaves the van.
4:25 – we are losing our minds.
4:31 – pastor finally returns. Nicole honks the horn at him. Revenge is sweet.
4:33 – we actually get on the road. Jesus have mercy on us.
