Greetings from L.A.!

Hey folks! Just a little update to let you know that things are going great down here! Yesterday we got a chance to have lunch with some homeless in Skid Row and then walk around downtown near Union Station. It was an amazing day of getting to know the city, experiencing what life is like here and praying for the hurt in this place. Today we put on our Sunday best and went to Easter service at Glory Christian Fellowship International. It was a two and half hour service, but it flew right by...we felt so welcomed, and people were genuinely excited to have us there. After that we grabbed lunch at a taco place and then spent some time in MacArthur park playing football and enjoying the weather. Tomorrow morning we start VBS, and we're really excited. World Impact has put up posters to get the kids excited, and we have no idea how many we'll get each day!

Please pray for us as we serve the community here. We've had safe travel thus far, and we ask that you continue to pray for that. So far it's been a great bonding time together, and I ask that you pray that God will continue to bring us together as a group.

Hopefully I'll be able to update you again tomorrow, but in the meantime, He is risen!
