On March 28th we drove to San Diego to pick up Martin, Erika and Conny! It's so hard to believe that they are actually here!! We have been hoping and praying that they would be able to come for so long and now it is happening and we are so excited!
After we picked them up from the airport we showed them around downtown San Diego, walked along the bay and down to Seaport Village. It was a beautiful sunny day! Afterwards we stopped by the YWAM San Diego/Baja office to show them around and to say "hi" to the folks there.
In the evening we shared at Amistad Rancho Hills Church in San Diego and had a wonderful time! There was a great turn-out which kind of surprised us for a Wednesday night and the people were so open and friendly! The pastors who invited us, Waldo and Leoni Garza, were our friends in Ensenada and now are on pastoral staff in San Diego. They are beautiful, wonderful, awesome people!!! We love them!!
