I gave a briefing to my team about Buddhism and the difference between Works and Grace religions today.

Then Ashley and I took them on a tour of the International Village.

We start out at CD Tower where we look at the store where people can buy their idols.

Then over to the Chinese Pharmacy to see the Eastern way of healing.

Then ate some delicious quesidillas at Carneceria #1. One of my favoritos!

The team did a great job at the missions this afternoon.

It was great to have Monica and her brother Justin lead the teams this week.

JP and Jesse are the youth directors. They’ll be moving to Arkansas soon for new challenges!

Monica is doing a wonderful job with Mobilizing Students.

Even though it was hot.

It was still “Surprisingly cool in the shade!”

I’ve been teaching Ashley how to shoot video news style. It’s cool how fast she understands and grabs the concepts I’m showing her!

Came on home to work on new podcasts! One of my favorite things to do!

Here’s a new favorite. “Smiling Cures All Ills!” Click on that title and I guarantee you will feel good NOW!

And here’s a thought I’ve been working on for the last few days, “Why me?” Said in the most upbeat, positive way possible! “Why Me?” I love this podcast. Check it out!

I’m not sure I should park near this.

When my friend told me, “I just saw Hello Kitty taking a poop.” I didn’t believe him. Only in the International Village!

Not sure about you, but I think we all could use more amusive fish.
