6 days til Tijuana!

If I don't count today, it's only 5 days, so maybe I'll go with that. That will make it seem closer! I am simply out-of-my-mind excited about this trip. I've been waiting for a year to go back to this very special place that has stolen my heart. This trip will feel like coming home. I so love the church in San Diego (Ocean View Church), and the orphanage in Tijuana (Colina de Luz).  Today was a special day in which the church gathered around to lay hands on me and pray for a safe and life-changing journey. I've never had that done before, and it was quite a blessed experience to be in the midst of all of that prayer and support. It is so crystal clear that God's hand is in this. He has led me every step of the way. Today, I wore my Mexico shirt to church and gave some of the kids treats that were made in Mexico. You can find them in Dillons or Walmart. I then asked them to keep the wrapper (it has Spanish writing on it) in a conspicuous place as a reminder to pray for me. There is power in prayer, especially where kids are concerned. I believe that kids are some of the greatest prayer warriors we have. I'm asking you to pray as well, if you would be willing. Here is how you can pray: 1) That the hearts of the people we reach out to will be open to the Gospel.  2)For safety. I would sure appreciate it.

This Thursday will be a tomato day! From 6-8 pm, you can come by my place and take some tomatoes. Here's the disclaimer: I do not have too many red tomatoes, there are more green ones than red. So, if you are a green tomato fan, we have the goods! If you are in the mood for red ones, come right at 6pm, as they will disappear fast. I will have more tomato days in the future, when I have more red ones.

This post will be a short one, and will end in the way my posts usually end... I have a shift to work at the ball fields tonight, and I need to get ready. I'm thankful for this job. I have good people to work with, and it brings some fundage in my direction.  I'm not sure if I'll have the opportunity to post again before I leave, we'll just have to see how busy life gets. I thank you for reading, and for your tireless support of what I am trying to do. I pray that God blesses you.
