Carni for a day...
It's been a while, but an interesting thing took place... I joined the carnival. Yes, you read that correctly. After leaving Owensboro, I headed east. After a hard 5 miles walking, a lady stopped and asked me if I wanted a job. I said sure. We took off later and she told me that they had a few rides and she would like me to run one. I told her my mission, and she was very interested. After dropping my cart off at her house her brother took me to where they had the rides. I told her, and her brother that I had a community of followers that I took care of at least 3 to 4 days per week depending on wi fi. Saying that they understood it was important to keep in contact, with my people, we started. I got a room, and a job with the Mind Winder. I would be responsible for the ride and making sure the children were secure before riding. It all started out great. The first week was a little tough, but I did it. But I was not able to update my blog and that was because we were busy. I asked the owner if it were possible to get on wi fi, and she said yes through hers. So I finally got on the second week. But then things got harder. Getting into town was less frequent. The job was still easy, but getting online was tough. I started to feel that my mission was forgotten, and I was simply Cody the worker. I had a hard time getting my laptop to the ladies trailer to plug in, but tried a few times. Updating this blog takes about 45 minutes to an hour, so when her internet times out, I have to save and start later. All in all the experience has been good except where I felt my mission was drownded out by work and the inability to make it into town to converse with my community of followers. It is a serious mission, but not everyone sees it the same way...
