Long trip - we got here about 14 hours after we left my house. But we're grateful to be here and to show John and Alvin the Multiplication Center.
Somehow its different when people get to see in person what you have tried to describe sight unseen. Sustained heavy afternoon thunder showers, followed by a tour of nearby San Ysidro to try some of the wonderful local coffee and tour the Catholic church ad its beautiful stained glass (imported from Austria). We also ran into our friend Ernesto, who is a local youth Pastor and who has visited Lakeside
Fantastic dinner courtesy the Very Worst Missionary. Wonderful to see her pleased by the love gifts sent down by our Lakeside friends. El Chupacabras is already knee-deep wearing multiple hats as tour guide, interpreter, job foreman and small group worship leader this week.
One of the things we've been told to do is to never complain - just follow direction. Evidently, Steve is concerned that when we go to church, the local ladies might greet us somewhat more enthusiastically than we're used to back in Folsom. You see the Tico's (that's what the locals call each other - its not a perjorative) tend to greet each other enthusiastically. If they go in for a neighborly Christian kiss of greeting, we need to make sure we duck to the left (to avoid meeting in the middle). :) Anything to blend in...
We're pouring a cement driveway tomorrow. We'll post more photo's later
It's so awesome to be here!!!!
