Yesterday the church had a Free Family Festival for the San Diego community. It was super cool. I know that I have told a few of you about my news, but for everyone else. I led someone to Christ last night. It was absolutely amazing. I think God knew that I was needing a little push to go and talk with Cindy and Joey. I am not really sure about how it is all going to go, but we will see. Anyways, the little boy's name was Kevin. He came up to my craft table and asked if he could make a necklace. I said, "Of Course!" I asked him if he knew the story that went along with the necklace. He said no, but told me that he wanted to hear it. So, I told him what each color bead represented:
Black- for our sin
Red- for the blood this cool guy named Jesus shed for us
White- for after we accept him we become white as snow (instead of black) to God
Blue- for us being washed away from our sin and becoming baptized with the Holy Spirit
Green- for growing as Christians
Purple- for being children of the King of Kings (which meant he was a prince)
Yellow- for the streets of Heaven and its glory
He had a lot of questions so another church member took over my table and I took the boy aside and answered each one of his questions completely. Finally, we discussed what prayer was and I asked if he believe in everything that I was saying. He told me yes. I asked if he wanted me to help him in his first and most important prayer ever. He said, "That would be nice." So, we both bowed our heads and he asked Jesus to be his king and savior. PRETTY COOL! The best part was that later on I saw him walking around the festival talking quietly to God and holding his necklace.
That was the end of my story for today. God has a purpose for my life and me being out in California! Okay, on the way back, I was thinking that we go to San Diego Zoo on the Thursday. The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing at their stadium on Friday, July 25th at 7:40 pm if we want to catch a game there. I would not mind. Every other field that we would drive by, the teams are going to be out of town!!! What luck! So, we could watch the game then drive to Las Vegas for the night and stay a day or two. Then stop to see Chelsea Simpson in AZ and off to the 4-corners for the day/part of the day. Next go to Grand Canyon. Finally, Santa Fe! I cannot really think of any more cool things to go see. Let me know what you think!!!

Wow! Thanks for sharing about Kevin. We will pray that he grows as a new believer in the Truth.
You'll find plenty of stuff to see on your trip back.
I thought I left a comment yesterday but I didn't go through the registration process so I am going to try this again.
Sounds like things are really looking up for you Bec. Dad didn't think we could see enough of the zoo to go on
Thursday. Thought we might wait until Friday and stay the majority of the day. As far as the Dodgers game... not real interested in that.
If we don't go on Thursday, we could get you packed up. Visit with Cindy and Kim. The only thing is, it is a 5 hour drive to Las Vegas from San Diego. Keep Thinking... love the post
Here I go again..This is my 3rd attempt to post a comment. Russell, Great post. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to post or not. I believe I saw Monticello as a you child however I don't remember a lot of it. My only experience in DC was exhausting but I can say I slept through the 2nd floor of the Smithsonian institute. Chris is recovering from his surgery today, he is doing okay despite the nausea he experience right after surgery...keep posting..
