Lunch with the family



Today we took a drive over to Angels Camp for lunch at Mike's Pizza. The food was good but our conversation with Becky was better. Becky works at the pizza parlor and has just returned to Angels Camp, she has some good insights on the needs of the town. She expressed the need for the kids. Her experience is that they have nothing to do and therefore get in trouble. It seems like this is a common theme no mater where you go. When I asked her what she thought of a church plant she shared that in her opinion it was needed. She then went on to express how church has been a big part of her sisters life. After lunch we took the kids Picture by the frog. As you can see, some liked the idea better than others. 
When we left we drove around to see if we could find the youth soccer field, to look at houses and to check out the meeting room at Golden State Cellular. On our journey we came upon a very strange tree. Now the reason I say it was strange was because of the amount of vultures that were sitting in it. I was kind of creepy. But they weren't just sitting there some of them had their wings spread. 
All in all it was a good day. We are getting very excited about what God is doing in our family.

Becky is right on and I think she is eluding to a larger issue; that is reaching the parents of the kids that have nothing to do. Lets fish for the whole community and see what God brings up.
