Tuckered Travelers. . .
Although we are fairly wiped, our minds and hearts are already full of first impressions. The trip itself was smooth; transferring baggage to Rick’s trailer and making our way down Interstate 5 toward the border all was pleasantly uneventful. The contrast from San Diego to Mexico upon crossing the border was stark: signs in Spanish, countryside peppered with the juxtaposition of unfinished homes and massive resorts, the sight of the beautiful blue Pacific, enormous red/green/white Mexican flags, right up to our first gathering for barbeque chicken at the “second floor” meeting place on site are all fresh in our minds. We felt secure at the sight of military presence here and there - “Which is a good thing,” Rick reminded us. We are looking forward to “shining like stars” during our time here, and bringing glory to the Lord’s name through our relationships to our neighbors.
