Happy Easter!
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
After enjoying our last days in Vicente Guerrero, we arrived in San Diego last night around 9 p.m. We enjoyed a wonderful celebration service at Mission Valley Church of the Nazarene this morning and were part of a large group (25 people) who shared a delightful dinner at Jim and Elizabeth Bergherm's home.
Some highlights from the last couple of days are...
...mopping up the new Jabes Skate Park in San Quintin. Cesar is responsible for this new facility and the program has great potential to reach many, many teens. Yes, I tried skateboarding and no, it was not pretty.
...carrying palm branches to the skate park. They are going to make a shaded area and use the branches as the roof.
...going to the radio station and watching Nani, Cesar, Cheryl and Jetro put on a live radio show talking about healthy ways to resolve conflict in families.
...going to the beach and finding LOTS of Mexican families celebrating the holiday weekend.
...cooking dinners at the house and relaxing with Nani, Cheryl and their kids...and a few others. Celebrating birthdays and celebrating friendship.
...saying goodbye. A wonderful time of prayer and sharing on Saturday morning was the perfect send-off for our team. God blessed our time in Vicente Guerrero and I am so thankful for all that He did in our lives there.
...a fun trip to Ensenada with Deborah and Jetro in tow. Finding our way around town and eating delicious tacos at La Comadre. I even had a big bite of Jetro's "cricket" taco. A delicacy in Mexico. It tasted...crunchy. And a little salty. Not too bad.
...a short line at the border...thank you so much Jesus! I got lost in Tijuana...again. So have found yet another way to get to the border. The girls just pretended like I was taking them on a tour. They were very gracious.
Seeing Roy and Nicole last night in San Diego. I love my family.
Tomorrow we put all the girls on planes to head to NNU. And Roy and I will be beginning our roadtrip home.
I am so thankful for the time that God has given me in Mexico. I am so thankful for all He has done. He is our Risen Lord who has redeemed us from the grave...Praise His Name!
Dios Les Bendiga!
