One more day finished

Tuesday March 17th-
Today was a 'work' day for us here in San Diego. We woke up early to meet Ashlee at 'the Marquee' which is where Ethos Church has their offices. The first few pictures are a few views of where they call home to their offices. The building is very cool with paintings of all sorts all over the walls. The girls had a great time looking around at all of the different art. At the Marquee we got the posters that we would spend half of the day passing out. We went to San Diego City College and put posters on every bulletin board on campus (after getting permission of course). The posters were advertising an event in May called "Sleepless in San Diego" which benefits the homeless awareness going on in the city of San Diego. After passing out the posters there we went to a place called Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. This was a 5 story all outdoor mall! It was huge and of course amazing and multi- colored like most buildings in San Diego. We went to different stores asking if they would put up the posters in their windows supporting the Sleepless in San Diego event. We had a lot of interested people which was a great encouragement to this event! After walking and passing out posters for hours the girls were exhausted and hungry. We allowed them to pick somewhere to eat in the food court before we continued on our way.

Next stop, Sea Port Village. Here we STARTED to pass out posters till we were approached by a cop saying that it was private property and weren't allowed to without permission from the manager. So all 11 of us marched on over to the managers office to get permission, but just by being unlucky the manager had just stepped out for the day. With some extra time before our dog flyers came in we did the last bit of the girls sovenier shopping. This place was filled with tons of really cute little places that the girls just loved. We were right next to the water so we played in the park and let the girls climb trees, look at some baby ducks in a pond, and hang out with each other until Ashlee showed up with our flyers. We had a blast hanging out in the sun and seeing the HUGE boats that were floating in the water next to us. Finally Ashlee showed up and we headed off to the dog park!

We went to the dog park at Balboa Park. This is a 24 hour leash free dog park. Dogs and their owners come to socialize and hang out. It was so fun to see all of the different breads of dogs running and chasing each other around like they are old friends. The girls probably saw every type of dog ever created. We passed out little cards that advertised a dog show that the Ethos Church will be putting on at their Easter Carnival. The dog show includes prizes for cutest, ugliest, and best costume on the dog. With the cards we passed out big and small dog bones. Funny enough no dog ever turned down our treat :) The girls could have stayed at the park forever playing with all the dogs.

After the park we can back to the hotel to grill out some chicken and to avoid the St. Patty's day crowds. The girls swam while the ladies cooked. Donna made some amazing grilled chicken for all of us to eat. After the food we squeezed in 2 devotionals and off to bed for the girls. They are getting nice and rest for our last full day of work. We are hitting up a few more dog parks, a dog beach, and possibly a playground.

Please continue to pray for the girls, the adult leaders, and the people being effect by these flyers. Our energy is being drained each day so pray that God continues to refreash us each morning for yet one more day of doing His work. Good night!
