We started Saturday a little behind schedule as all of the guys slept a little later then planned. We hit the freeway at ab
out 7:45 after a breakfast of cereal and strudel bread, cleaning the church and enjoying devotions led by Tyler and Wyatt. The drive was very uneventful. Weather was great although a little windy. Jason and Tyler are the drivers for Dolly – Tom’s truck. Dolly’s a little sloppy to drive and, fully loaded and with the wind, she kept the drivers focused.
We lunched at our usual park in Santa Clarita. The weather was overcast and fairly cool. When I loaded the vans on Friday morning, I made the mistake of putting the bread for sandwiches in the boys’ van and I have never seen a flatter loaf of bread then what came out of the van. So we stopped and picked up some new bread for our chicken salad (thank you, Arlene!) and egg salad (thank you, Karen!) and pb & j sandwiches. We also had left over enchiladas and tamales from Friday night. Some of the team members could’ve used a shower after a rousing game of basketball (using a soccer ball).
We crossed the border without any issues at about 4:30 US time. (Mexico does not recognize daylight savings time so there
’s an hour difference.) For the first time ever we drove directly to the church without wandering around hunting. Pastor Martin, Martha and family greeted us when we arrived at the church.

After unloading, Jane, Andrew, Martha, Marian and I drove to the hardware store (Sorry, Chuck and Janette. Not a True Value..) and picked up 28 gallons of paint for the various projects. We also stopped and picked up a couple of cakes as today is Pastor Martin’s birthday. We got back to the church just in time for our usual taco feed (Excellent!) and spent over an hour lingering, talking and laugh
ing. It’s great to be here!
Team meeting and worship at 9:00 local time and lights out at 10:00.
