Baja Final Day (Saturday)

This morning we begin the trip north arriving at PDX tonight at 11:10pm (Southwest from San Diego). It has been a meaningful week.
Yesterday we spent time visiting an orphanage that is doing kingdom work in the community of Vicente Guerrero. It was quite inspiring. Then, we went to a market where we were recognized by vendors who had sat next to us at church. I guess we stand out here 🙂 After that we split into two groups (meat or fish) and, hosted by our worksite foreman Rick, some of us enjoyed the BEST FISH / SHRIMP TACOS ever. Then Rick took us to a favorite beach where we couldn’t walk far without stepping on a full sand dollar. This time at the beach in God’s creation was a perfect way to begin to decompress and process the week. Golden sand, dolphins jumping, conversation, a moment to yourself in the waves and a rousing game of CLAM (spoons).
YWAM prepared a celebration feast for dinner, carne asada, pork verde, fish Florentine, garlic mashed potatoes, ceviche, soup.. they outdid themselves.
The last part of our evening was spent in a circle where each of us shared individually how we were impacted and then was blessed by the other team members. We were able to speak into one another’s lives and encourage and share how we see God at work in them. It was a sweet 4.5 hours together. Yes, 4.5 hours because God has been so good to us this week.
This morning we begin the trip north - leaving VC around 6:30am and hoping to arrive in San Diego around 5pm. Our Southwest flight arrives at 11:10pm at PDX.
Thank you for your prayers, we have felt a hedge of protection and support as we have been an extension of our church family, serving here this week in Baja
