            Left LA today and started home for Sacramento. Right no we’re (charissa, phobe, David, and me) are playing duces. For some ODD reason though.. phobe keeps getting 1^st David keeps getting 2^nd and Charissa and I keep exchanging 3^rd and 4^th place.. I think it’s rigged. Then we stopped at this gas station and terry bought us boxes of STRAWBERRY MENTOS! Yum! J then we were talking about our pei-peis (blankets). Mine is in pretty good shape but Charissa and Travis’s are falling apart. Howard has a “green british pei-pei” and then we formed a pei pei club. David Chow cannot be part of the pei-pei club because he disowned his pei-pei by throwing it in the GARBAGE!!! But charissa and I have matching pei-peis.. or it has the same teddy beddy bear design..but hers has stuffing in it. Travis has soldiers and little dolls on his.. but its really thin.. but it’s still his pei-pei so its okie, okie I’m out..Later Dayz!

Saturday

Last night we stayed at the Hilton. It was so nice to take a shower and to sleep in a bed and stretch out w/out being confined to a sleeping bag. This morning pastor Ted led us in debriefing and we shared our most touching experiences and the relationships we made. I drove all the way back to Sac most of the way w/ Jon and the last day w/ Tiffany. It was a great way to share and talk about our week, what we’ll miss, and get to know each other better (bonding). I pray for the relationships we made throughout our trip, for the kids, Pastor, supporting churches, disciples and team that we don’t forget the outreach and learn from our conflicts. I think God for bringing me on this trip to serve on core for the glory of him who is.

Jessica and Josh are sitting nect to each other in the front and they are taking up half of the seat and Janet has the whole other seat, or half. Haha shes looking at them. They are currently sleeping. Their heads are about to touch. Sammy is feeling on transhawns leg. Phoebe is doing math hwk and travis is helping.

Tavis you

That’s what his name tag said or says    today (Saturday) patty, grace and I stayed up hecka late and we walked to the lobby and bought a hecka expensive item of cup of noodles for freaking $1.50. isn’t that nuts?! Geez. So we needed to heat up the water and so we used a coffee maker to boil up water and then we forgot forks and cups to eat with so we went back to the lobby. We ate lays spicy chips and sour cream and onion chips and dr pepper. Today we wanted to wake up at 5 so that we could go work out and then we wanted to watch the sun rise so the wake up call person called us at 5:00 nad then 5:10 but we decided not to go work out and so we decided to wake up at 5:45 but then the next time we woke up, it was 6:45 abd the sun had already risen =o

Kay well mexico was a great experience. I loved it mucho!
