roadtrip

Recognize each day as a gift from God and  give thanks for each blessing that comes perfectly wrapped up in it.

This is what our brothers and sisters here teach me everyday.  Yesterday we had a great day of fellowship at a few of the Baja churches.  We hit the road about 4 a.m. with 2 trucks, a trailer, 4 people and a dog and went winding through the mountains watching the sunrise through the clouds. 

We delivered tables, chairs, doors, and computers for the new classrooms in Papalote and were energized by a breakfast of chorizo, eggs, beans, tortillas, coffee and great conversation with Alfonso and Angie.  They remind me that God often provides for us even before we ask or know we are in need. They are wonderful ministers to the community and are true selfless servants of the Lord.  Please pray for continued growth of the church there as they celebrate one year in the building in June.

We also delivered computers to San Quintin and chatted with Pino, Gloria and their new puppy Timón. They are doing well and are looking forward to the groups visiting this summer.

Lastly, we stopped in San Vicente to drop off more computers and enjoyed jamaica (hibiscus) juice and homemade flan on the porch alongside of: watermelon, corn and squash growing in the garden, 5 baby turkeys exploring, 4 dogs barking, sun shining, wind blowing, roses blooming and goats babbling.  We had a great visit with Antonio, Nelly and the girls and are so thankful for their work. 

What are these computers for? Most of the preachers and their families live on the same property as the churches and are on the job 24/7. These computers will mainly be used by the neighborhood kids to do their homework after school as many do not have internet access at home.

Thankfully, we had a safe journey home and even got to see 3 cowboys lassoing an escaped donkey... good stuff. Have a great weekend!
