SUNSET ON THE OCEAN

WE SPENT THE DAY EXPLORING OUR AREA AND RUNNING SOME ERRANDS. TOOK A NICE WALK AND WENT BACK TO THE BATTALION SITE. WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE TOUR IN SPANISH. THAT WAS DIFFERENT AND KIND OF FUN. IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO BRUSH UP ON MY SPANISH SO I CAN MEMORIZED THE DIALOGUE IN SPANISH.  MAYBE I'LL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO SPEAK IT.

THEN WE TOOK A TRIAL RIDE TO THE SAN DIEGO TEMPLE JUST TO SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE UP.  ONLY 15 MINUTES BY CAR FROM THE OLD TOWN BATTALION CENTER.  DRIVING TO OLD TOWN FROM OUR RV CAMP IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES, BUT WE WILL TAKE THE TROLLEY MOST DAYS BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC.

CHECKED OUT WHERE WE WILL GO TO CHURCH. IT IS ABOUT 6 MINUTES AND WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE FREEWAY.

NOW FOR THE NICE PART. WE DROVE OUT TO SUNSET CLIFFS ROAD AND SAT AND WATCHED THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET AT 5:16. HERE IT IS JANUARY 27TH AND PEOPLE ARE OUT IN THE OCEAN SURFING. WOW!

TOMORROW THERE IS A BIG CELEBRATION IN OLD TOWN ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTALION ENTERING SAN DIEGO SO WE WILL GO AND HANG OUT. WISH WE COULD BE INVOLVED BUT THEY WON'T LET US UNTIL WE ARE TRAINED.

WE FEEL REALLY BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO COME TO THE BATTALION SITE. THE MISSIONARIES WHO ARE THERE NOW SAID IT IS ONE OF THE MOST REQUESTED MISSIONS. SOMETHING LIKE 4,000 REQUEST TO COME HERE. SO WE ARE SO BLESSED AND FORTUNATE AND WILL TRY TO DO OUR BEST.
