Tijuana Day 6

 

    Some of these pictures are from earlier this week*

    We had a lovely outing with the women and children from Deborah's house as we took two vans to Ensenada; a cute beach town. We stopped at the beach on the way there and did a photoshoot with the families which we will print off for them tomorrow. A few of us swam in the freezing cold water and we had a blast sharing laughs and enjoying the views of this magical place. 

    Next, we had a boat ride which was SO FUN. Danny played music for us and it was a really special moment for everyone. We then ate tacos for dinner, walked around the shops, had churros, then headed back to the house, exhausted but happier than ever. Of course we played soccer and tag when we got back and finished with duck duck goose which was totally chaotic. We ate and said goodnight to our beautiful friends, me personally a little bit sad knowing that our time here is coming to a close.

    We have really grown close with the people here and I will be sad to leave but it brings me comfort knowing that our time here could not have been more perfect and that God is doing good work here in the lives of these women and kids, healing the hurt and pain that only he can fully comprehend.

So today we had a great breakfast that was burritos and I must say that every single day the food is just amazing at Deborah’s house and we are so blessed that they are taking such good care of us. But it definitely was an early one today as we had breakfast at 7:30 and left for Ensenada at 9. Halfway to Ensenada we stopped at the beach and we took lots of photos the kids had a blast playing in the pacific ocean and so did I. I bodysurfed and did all the fun things I tried to get others to join me but no one joined me sadly. And then after the beach we were back on the road to Ensenada. When we finally got to Ensenada we made a b line straight to the boats. We had a blast on the boat we were blasting reggae music and we also saw lots of seals. For me personally that was my first time seeing a seal in person so that was pretty cool. and then after the boat we went and got some tacos from this restaurant and they were really good everyone seemed to like them. Then we went and got some churros from this churro stand place and they were filled with Nutella and man that was really tasty. And finally we went back home played duck duck goose with the kids for a little and then had tamales for dinner, they were really good. But yeah that was how the day went, I want to thank God for giving us the opportunity to bless these children and have a great time with them.
