Today was one whirlwind of day! We left Redding this morning at about 10:00 and started our drive down to the Bay. Two of our cars don't have air conditioning, so some of us rode the whole ride with our windows down!
We stopped for lunch in Corning (where the infamous Olive Pit is), and arrived in the Bay at about 4:00. Since we weren't scheduled to arrive to CSM until 5:00, we decided to swing by Mike's Dad's house in El Sobrante to say hello! (see group shot below)
Once we arrived at CSM, we unloaded our bags, stretched our legs, were introduced to the awesome CSM staff, and then we hopped back into our cars for our dinner! One of the cool things about this trip is that CSM wants to give us an experience of how diverse a city is, so for each of our dinners we will be eating at a different ethnic restaurant. Tonight my team and I went to an Indian place and DINED on the delicious food they served us!
After dinner, we took an hour and a half prayer ride around the city. Our guides taught us many things about the different districts in the city, and as we were driving we prayed for the things we saw, which included so many broken, painful things.
Tomorrow we have a long day. We will be splitting into 5 different teams tomorrow to serve at 5 different places. Please pray that God will give us a refreshing nights' sleep in order to serve well tomorrow, as well as God preparing our hearts for the things we will experience tomorrow.
Love to you all,
- Heather
