Last week was amazing! Cornerstone Church, from Lodi, California, visited IDT Baja last week. Seventeen people came to re-roof a house, install a front door, and do five evangelical outreaches to the poor. They also brought an astounding amount of things that were distributed to our La Paloma children's home, La Huerta daycare center, the poor, and missionaries in need.
The group arrived last Sunday evening. Monday was a dinner & movie outreach in the town of Colonia Vicente Guerrero. They served a tamale dinner, did cartoon character drawing lessons, a music & puppet show, and then we all watched the movie La Esperanza (The Hope). On Tuesday, we took the hour long trek to the agricultural camp of Hacienda Sinaloa mentioned in previous posts. Along with dinner, they served up drawing lessons, music, Bible teaching by our Mexican missionary, and with a cartoon about Samuel the prophet. Each family received a large grocery bag of gifts given with the love of Christ. Also, each family had their picture taken.
On Wednesday, we pounded down the rough road to a fishing village called La Chorera. Another outreach was held at the church Cornerstone built a few years ago. Nearly every family in the community came for lunch and the Samuel cartoon.
On Thursday, a few of the guys went fishing out of San Quintin and landed several big ones. Also, we took a spur-of-the-moment return trip to Hacienda Sinaloa. The family pics were delivered along with a hot dog dinner, more Bible teaching, and some much needed clothing.
Friday was our last morning together. Two of us visited a senior care home and everyone made the rounds at the Oaxacan market in the town square. The Triqui and Mixteco Indian people who live here weave bracelets, purses, etc. It's a good place to pick up some souvenirs and bless a family with some business. After this, Cornerstone headed north toward an overnight in San Diego and then Lodi. Wow!
