Final day in Baja

Friday was a great way to end our time in Baja with a little sightseeing, shopping and learning about an incredible ministry for orphans at The Mission. Here is a beautiful painting on a wall at the orphanage


I was honored with the opportunity to then visit a family for the afternoon and they made us a wonderful Queso tamale meal. They are so grateful for their home that was built a couple of years ago that they wanted to provide us this wonderful hospitality. Here is the sign on their house with gorgeous bleeding hearts flowers


After an incredible dinner back at IDT, I mean incredible, probably top 3 meals of my lifetime, we headed out to the beach for a communion service. The sunset was incredible...



Right before the service a pelican literally buzzed our group, landed and then visited with us. It was crazy!


Eventually our veterinarian, and wonderful and generous friend, Dr. Dan saved the day as the pelican seemed to not be acting right so he did what a vet would do...


picked him up and released him into the air where he flew away. Amazing!

What an incredible trip of relationship building, house building and service. It was a privilege to be an ambassador for Christ!!

"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God" (Revelation 21:3, ESV).

  1. A friend said that the pelican was probably raised or cared for by humans, causing it to identify with us. Might explain the "nutty" behavior.
