e there was a group from the church that went and had dinner, and it was a good time of fellowship around the dinner table. Monday, there was a church wide picnic. That time was great to meet people casually. We ate, played games, and there was even a water fight
. I was busy playing games, so I missed out on the water fight.Tuesday was when the training for the summer actually begun. So, we started on the road to find where we were suppose to go, and once we got to the building there was no one there, so we went to go get some coffee and when we came back there was still no one t
here, so we waited until someone finally arrived. After a while, we a realized that we were at the wrong place, so once I got to where I was suppose to be it was great. We started off by giving the people in the community free groceries if they needed them. Once we finished with the service project, I finally got to meet the other missionaries that had come for the summer. We had lunch together, and then we started discussing the details for the summer. Once we had finished lunch, we went around the city to see some things that would encourage us. We went to a church that has their own student area, and it was very impressive and inspirational because this is what the student ministries we are workin
g with could be within a few years.Wednesday and Thursday were days filled with lectures over prayer, evangelism, discipleship, teaching, and other topics that would be helpful for us throughout the summer. One day we had In and Out Burger, that was so good, and the other day we had Chick-Fil-A. It was fun trying a new experience and it was even better to be reminded of home.
Friday, was such a fun day! We went to our director’s house, and she had made us breakfast, which was a breakfast casserole, fruit, a breakfast cake, and juice. During the morning we finished going over the things for the summer. When we had finished doing that, we relaxed by the pool. It was too cold to get in, but it was nice enough to sit outside. The group got to know each other a little bit better. As we were sitting around the pool, we decided that we wanted to do something as a group that night, so we exchanged addresses and phone numbers, and we parted out ways. That night we
went to downtown San Diego! We parked in the Horton Plaza parking garage
on the corn level! The Horton Plaza is a mall that is several levels, and is outside. The group decided to go eat at Hard Rock Café! The food was really good, I got a California Club. It had avocadoes, tomatoes, chicken, lettuce, and other good stuff on it. We did not stay out very long because we all were very tired. The lady I am staying with was suppose to have guests come while I was gone, but when I got home they had not come yet, and she said they would be there soon. So, not too long after I arrived at hom
e her guests arrived. She had made some Kenyan food, and she wanted me to have some, and I did not want it because I was so full, but she begged me to have some, so I had just a little. We sat around the table and talked for a while, but I was so tired I did not last very long, I went to bed around one, and they said they were up until 3.Saturday, was a fun day also. We spend the day with her guests. We went to Balboa Park and downtown to a park on the harbor. There was some Mexican festival going on and there were some food sample booths, I did not have very much, but what I had was interesting. It was a fun day of spending time with each other.
Today is Sunday, May 31, and so far today has been a good day. We went to church, and the girls in the youth
were very open and talkative, and we had good discussion. The service this morning was good. He showed us a picture of was Paul’s jail sell looked like. After church, the youth team had a meeting, and it was exciting because the team was coming up with the idea, and not me. So this summer has started off really well, and I am excited to see what happens from here!
