It has been waaaayy too long...

What the heck, I can't believe I have not updated my blog since March, but I've been busy OK!, but right now I'm sitting in a very crowded airport waiting to fly to Sacramento, but it's too foggy outside for planes to fly. I didn't you you needed to see to fly, thats what radars, microwaves and stuff are for. Stupid fog. What am I gonner do in this airport for 2-3 hours? Huumm, maybe I can update my blog. See if I find any interesting pictures on my computer and stuff. Lets see what I can come up with...

The Latest

Here we are, March 22nd, the day before Easter Sunday. Where have I been since my last blog:
Arizona for 6 days. I was part of Palmcroft Baptist church missions conference. It was great. had big fun. Hung out with some awesome fellow missionaries, got to know more members of the church and over all had a great time. Thank you friends. Didn't get to go to a Sun's game though because SHAQ showed up and screwed that up for me. There always next year when everyone will be bored of him by then.

I was then in Simi Valley for 2 days, spoke at Cornerstone church, and stayed with my good buddy Spencer. Also got to visit with Francis Chan and had a great visit (his wife makes yummy brownies).

While there I went to the Ronald Reagan library. That was awesome. Didn't see many books, but what a great piece of Americana. the actually Airforce one presidential plane is there, I took some pictures inside before security rushed me and told me to stop taking pictures (I guess I should have read that little piece of paper they gave me before I got on). I highly recommend you see the library next time you are in Simi Valley.

Virginia

"Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones." Psalms 116:15
I am writing this with a heavy heart. Monday we buried a wonderful person, Virginia Castaneda Suarez, she died of a series of strokes one week after her 34th birthday. I've known Virginia since she was 6 years old when she came to live here at Rancho Sordo Mudo. She grew up here, learned a language, obtained an education and learned about Jesus and accepted Him into her heart here. She met her husband here, got married here. They moved to Ensenada to work with the deaf adults there. They have two children Leilani 6 (I am her godfather) and Jeremiah 4. She was a neat person, loved the Lord, loved her family, hard worker and I loved her laugh, which she did a lot. Now she's dead which I can't understand, I know she's in a better place and all that, but what about her family, her kids? I know people die every day all around us, but I don't know those people, I don't feel a crushing sadness in my heart for them like I feel for Virginia and her family. And I am struggling with this seemingly untimely death. I am at loss for words.
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"
I can't wait for this to happen.
