First time ever to see the Pacific

[Child of Immanuel]

I'm heading straight from school to the airport to visit my brother in California! I also get to take a tour of his school and sit in on a class. I'll be back Monday afternoon, I may get online for a few minutes or not while there.

awesome! The Pacific Ocean is awe-inspiring. Will you be camping on the beach?

Ah, the Pacific. Been there twice and both times was dying to return the hour that I left. The Atlantic is alright, but just doesn't seem to have the same effect.

Some day...me...wife...beach house...Pacific Ocean...retirement.......yeah...

Sounds like a great time. It really is an awesome view.

Have a great time.

Well, I only got a few minutes at the beach because we decided to drive down to Mexico and visit it there. Such a poor place, and so corrupt. We visited the beach and then bought trinkets from Mexico, and then we got pulled over and ripped off by a policeman before having to wait in a two-hour line to get back to the States. God was definately taking care of us in that we hadn't used the ATM and only had twenty dollars to gice the cop. Interestingly, we prayed to be protected while sitting in the line, because the officer on duty was searching each car, but when we finally got the idea to pray that the traffic would move, another officer immediately replaced the first one and we were through in minutes.

Otherwise, I had a good time visiting my brother's college. It looks like a really good program for linguistics and stuff to prepare me for Wycliffe.

However, my brother is in depression. My father and both uncles had it in college, and now he does too. We were able to convince him to go to counseling and then to stay, and now all he has to do is summon up the motivation to get his prescription, take the medicine regularly, and visit the counselor when he's supposed to. Please pray for him.
