Now Pastor Carl laughed most of the rest of the night, made a lengthly retelling of the story the next morning at breakfast to our group, and finally retold the entire story to Antonio, our van driver, on the way to Monday morning VBS. And yes, the “encouragement card wall” mysteriously filled up with sorted images of toilets with Mr. Drain being disposed of in a variety of ways ...
