Hey, everybody! We had a very good trip out even though our flight was about an hour late taking off. We still made it within about 15 or 20 minutes of the planned arrival time. We had a constituency waiting for us when we got off with a big welcome sign. It was great!
I just love my three roommates! And the people I'm in the rental van with as well. We are having such a great time together - laughing, joking, getting lost. Somehow last night we were were trying to get to a neighborhood and ended up at the Taiwanese Lutheran Church. Don't ask.
We met Brad, the pastor here, and a few of his staff members. I'm so excited about helping them. They said they are running about 100 people in their church services, which is amazing considering the short time they've been here. God is doing awesome things here and I'm blessed to be a part of it.
We spent time last night putting flyers about our concerts on doors and caroling for people waiting outside restaurants as Steve, the associate pastor, gave out flyers. People seemed to enjoy it and we even got some applause!
The people here are so friendly! Seriously, their hospitality would rival South Carolinians'. And, in spite of the fact that there is a lot of traffic, the drivers are actually more courteous here. So many of them stopped for our large group to cross streets, even though legally, they didn't have to.
Today, we will be giving out more flyers and getting ready for our first performance tonight. The weather here is beautiful, and I got to eat an In and Out burger last night for the first time in seven years. They are great and if you ever come out to California, you have to have one. The next thing I'm supposed to try is a fish taco, which, from what I hear is a San Diego staple.
Hopefully, now that Barry has generously helped me to figure out how to get on the Internet at the hotel, I can update tonight when we get back. Have a great Saturday, everyone! Miss you all!
