thoughts from I5 milepost 559

The sun is up as we drive past fields this beautiful morning.

We left Springfield a few minutes before 4pm. Yesterday we drove 360 miles arriving at FBC Red Bluff at 10:45. There was a team from the church to welcome and help us settle in.

One of the guys asked us why we would want to go to Mexico when there is so much need here in the US.

Its a good question. I think by entering a different culture we experience people in unique was. It gives us a better understand of a people and their culture. As we separate ourselves from our culture we are stripped clean, better equipped serve God

While there is need everywhere I think we will experience a level of poverty in Tijuana staggering to behold. Hopefully we will be challenged to make a difference ina sacrificial way.

This morning we learned thatn not all Diesel pumps are created equal. We pump 20 gal in 25 min and decided that we couldn't wait to put in the other 60 gals. We will find a truckstop with a highspeed pump next time.

We are on schedule to cross the Mexican border about 8pm. Thanks for your continued support and prayers.
