Spring Break's a Coming!

Our Spring Break is next week and we are getting sooooo excited! I haven't seen the ocean in 3 years due to Disney World back in 2008 and being here in 2009 so I am ready for some beach therapy! We are leaving out on Friday and heading to Phoenix, AZ. On Saturday, we will travel to San Diego to Dave and Kelly Good's who own a cabin here in Vallecito and attend our church when they are here. They are such a sweet couple and have so generously urged us to come check out San Diego and stay with them. While there, we will go to Sea World and the famous San Diego Zoo.

We will then travel back to southern Phoenix and meet up with friends Kathy and Earl Wilkening and go into Mexico with them to Rocky Pt. where Don and Ada del Amot live. Now, I will have to say that I am very apprehensive about going to Mexico with all the warnings the US has put out urging people not to go there, so I can't be too excited about going there. The 2 families that have been down there the past couple of weeks from our church has assured me that it is a very safe place and that nothing bad has happened there. Ada told me that if they ever felt it was a dangerous place to be, they would leave and stop their family/friends from coming in. It was put to me like this today....."What the US did in telling people not to go to Mexico would be equivalent to saying 'Detroit is a dangerous place so don't go to the US'". We will be 800 miles from where the violence in Mexico has been taking place. Our families are very concerned about us going and we appreciate that. We have been praying about this trip and will continue to seek God on whether we should change our plans. It's hard to be excited about this vacation when there are so many people worried about it.....

So pray along with us for God's direction because at this point we are planning to go. Pray for our safety while we are there....but most of all....pray for our parents while we are gone!! (We don't want to take away years from them over worry!)~~~"Can all your worries add a single moment fo your life?" Matt 6:27
