Today was our fun day as a group. We saw more of God’s beauty as we went to La Bufadora. The blow hole was very nice but could not match the beautiful view of miles of coastline and mountains. It was foggy the further you looked out, just adding to the picture perfect moment. Waves crash up, and the wind blows, and there is the feeling of tranquility that all is going to be well. What a truly great God we serve, that he can create something as breathtaking as this.
The many shops made the day fun as well. It’s very comical and fun to barter with the different vendors. Everyone got their souvenirs for themselves and others. One neat vendor, the best one by far, took regular ceramic plates and just with his fingertips and paint created wonderful works of art that no other vendor could match.
After we got back, we went back to pastor Teo’s church for a party that he threw for us, out of his gratitude. It was a very good experience, as the family we built the house for arrived and yet again gave their thanks. Pastor Teo is a great man and has a wonderful church here in Ensenada.
This morning, myself (Caleb Yutzy), and Martin Guerena went body surfing and saw a whale’s tale splash down. That was one of the first time I was truly speechless. Susan had a bit of a spell yesterday. She blacked out for a number of seconds but appeared fine. Just for precautions sake, her and Jon went to a hospital in San Diego, which with her comidic attitude explaned they had no HIPPA law. She is perfectly fine now though but please keep her in your prayers for the flight back. All the houses and the soup kitchen were finished in time. We had ceremonies yesterday and today which were very touching and brought tears to most of our eyes. It really makes you realize how much you have back in the states. They are so greatful and thankful to have just this small house that most of us would use as a shed. Through some help from God, we got a new refrigerator and a new gas stove for the soup kitchen. Pastor Teo and his wife were very greatful and shared some words of thanks and encouragement at the dedication. We are excited to see how the soup kitchen will be use for God’s glory. Our hope is to impact hundreds in the community.
Although we are having the time of our lives here in Ensenada, we are all very anxious to get back home to all of are families who love and support us. As we travel back, we again ask for your prayers and support as we cross the border, that everything goes smoothly, and as we fly that all will go well too. We thank all of you for your support and prayers already, we could not have done this without you. This has been a great experience for all of us, and many of us want to come back next year. we will be leaving sometime in the afternoon to go back across the border. Depending on the time, it could take us up to 3 hours to cross the border, due to traffic. Our plane leaves around 11pm Pacific time. We will arrive at Northwest Chapel around 930am. Again we all thank you for your support and can’t wait to tell you all our amazing stories of our adventures in Mexico. Phillipians 4:13 says, ” I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” That was truly proved this week.
