August 8

Woke up to an overcast sky again. Our camp is only 3 blocks from the ocean and so every morning there is a fog. Amazing day today. In fact one of the clearest indications of a glorious creator and king of a boundless kingdom.

We finished a floor for one of the sweetest families I have ever met. Marcos was a professional baseball player scouted by the dodgers and he and his wife Alma moved to Rosarito one year ago. They are the family with the trailer house and the baby. They are pastors and are working on beginning a mission here. They and their children are great. As we are working at Marcos and maria's home a man that we knew from our first home showed up at this house. After a bit we I put together that this man was the father of Marcos and Elisabeth the wife of Roberto who's house we just finished. We invited both families which was really one family to dinner and we had spaghetti and we played soccer and sang songs together. One of the most meaningful moments on this trip was singing and playing guitar with Roberto and singing how great is our God in Spanish and English at the same time. Jesus had to be really pleased. We had an amazing time with the family. So, one house one foundation many friends and closer bonds. We are ready to come home but will be leaving a part of us here in Mexico.

Hopefully we will be quick getting through the border tomorrow as we are all tired but ready for the trip home. We will be bringing Jono to L.A with us as he has to catch a flight to new Zealand on Wednesday. He will stay at life pacific and will go to Disneyland with us tomorrow. We really like him a bunch. We kind of want to keep him. But we know we can't bring him home with us.

We will miss Mexico but can't wait to be with our families.

Love you, chris
