San Diego - 6 Morning

We are having a great time in San Diego.  We went to the beach a couple days ago and the water felt awesome.  Yesterday we went to Balboa Park and I had hoped to go to the Championship Sports Hall of Fame museum but it was only open from 10am to 4:30pm so it was already closed during our evening visit.  Today my group is going to a barbeque at the Adult Day Care.  We are having a fantastic time in San Diego.

On the 3rd room from the left in the New Life Church in San Diego, California in the United States, NorthAmerica, Earth, Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, I am having alot of fun.  I have been helping out at the Special Delivery Program here and it delivers food to the people who have illnesses and can't make their own meals.  We also worked at the food bank where I won the smallest potato contest.  We got to wear hair nets, aprons, and gloves.  We also visited the beach and that was really fun because I got to play in the waves and dig holes that were 2 feet deep.  We also have been playing with the neighborhood kids around the church and we have lots of fun with them.

Another early morning! This amazing and eye-opening experience has flown by very fast. It is amazing how the van ride here seemed so long and being in San Diego is almost over! The whole group has worked very hard on every work site we have been to. God has really worked through every kid here to make San Diego a better city. I have really enjoyed getting to know other kids from my own church and the kids from Washington. I also really enjoyed talking to the people I served. I know I will have these memories for a very long time.

P.S. I love you mommy and daddy and don't worry about me!

It's been a great experience getting to feed the homeless. I love all the people we were able to meet. It was also cool that people from a different state were helping out with us too. (THANKS WASHINGTON STATE KIDS!!)
