Aug 6th

Today was a tremendous day. Since we were done with our house we went to rosarito to visit our family from last year. It was so amazing! We took with us an Amor worker named Allegra and she speaks Spanish really well. So we were able to communicate with them for the first time with clarity. They told us that this last winter was the first winter the family did not have to suffer from freezing temperatures. They said that our visit meant a great deal to them. In fact the wife Elizabeth called her husband and her brother and they dropped everything they were doing  and came to the house straight away.

Marco, who we poured the slab for last year has become the pastor of their church. He and his wife are really excited to minister to the children of rosarito. There is a large population of homosexuals that live in Rosarito and they have been speaking out against it and trying to teach the children the truth. However, the church building has been infested with termites for years and even though they continue to minister there is a fear that the facility will become condemned. They are in need of $800 to $1000 to buy material to repair the roof. Prayerfully we can do something to help.

It was great to see them again. They are all doing well. Marco told me that a beard hair of mine was stuck in the concrete pad and they can see the bright hair in the morning and remember pastor Chris. I laughed and thought that it is kind gross but funny.

After we visited we had some tacos, stopped at a little shop and went to the beach. We had a great time of worship and discussion and an impromptu jam session with Will banging on buckets and garbage cans and me on guitar. We had a bunch of people come over to listen to us. It was really fun!

  1. Sounds great! I'm sure we'll be hearing more stories after you get home. So glad to visit with Sam A. tonight; will be praying for a safe journey north. Good luck with the games on the way home :)
