My first day of coarse was travel. So flying from Va To San Diego and getting into our hotel was the majority of my Saturday. We did manage to find some time to eat and walk around a great outdoor mall before bedtime.
Sunday, we visited Mile McPherson's "the Rock Church" here in San Diego. It was great! The service was great across the board. Our team even got some kind words from Miles from the pulpit. He had remembered seeing Doug from years before and asked about us and our trip. He was very warm and genuine. Read up about him, he was a Charger, and played Safety during the 80's. His head of security at the church is none other then Hall of Fame wide receiver James Lofton. Another humble and pleasant man to meet.
After a quick hour and a half trip down the pacific coast. And several tolls and check points later, we arrived safely at our destination. The impoverished but thriving town of Ensenada. Covered in rolling hills with a variety of wild dogs, broken down buildings and people scurrying about.
To our surprise and delight, shortly after checking into Yugo (the christian camp) we were invited to meet our family, the ones we would be building the house for. Despite the obvious language barrier it was clear from the look of enthusiasm mixed with uncertainty that the family was excited about us being here and more excited to know that they will finally have a home of their own. Our hearts have begun to smile already. Just seeing them was already been a blessing to us.
So I sit here early pacific time sharing these words with you. Outside of my personal comfort zone, unaware of what the day truly hold for us, but totally willing to go and do whatever God asks me to do. So I leave you with this.............1 Cor 15:58
blessings, dave
