The Perfect Storm in La Paz, Mexico

Man Reading Perfect Storm In La Paz, Mexico (A Typical Scene)

Dear Fellow Pilgrims, 

I want to start this mission report by thanking all of you that took the time to send a prayer to the ears of

 our Heavenly Father (who dwells in the Sanctuary on high) for our success and protection while on this seafaring mission. Thank

 you so much...we had a very safe and successful mission. We did have a few trials but nothing went wrong in the way of safety

 and all of the books were distributed.

Just returned from Mexico on Thursday night (Nov 27th) from a sail boat

 literature evangelism tour...we gave away 1000 books, 200 English, 800 Spanish

. Kirwin Wong came down and helped us bring the sail boat back from Cabo San Lucas. I was on the boat for an entire month!!

 Got sick the first day and prayed for healing from the motion sickness and miraculously the sea became calm and my motion sickness never

 returned for the entire trip. Praise God!! HalleluYah!!!

 

On October 26th, 2008 3 crew members (Ed Crouse, Donna Hamp and I) and Captain Mel Hamp boarded the "Sea

 Angel" 42' Catalina Sailing Yacht and departed from US soil along with 141 other sail boats participating in a sail boat race called the Baja Ha-Ha. Leaving the

 San Diego Harbor we headed to Turtle Bay, Baja Mexico.

Our first stop in Mexico some 3 days later was in Tortuga Bay (Turtle Bay) where we were greeted by a gentleman on the dock by the name of Miguel (Michael). This cheerful and helpful man guided us through the town and helped us distribute some 200 books walking from house to house.

99% of the people in Mexico are more than happy to receive the books and to our amazement they often begin reading the book immediately upon receiving it. What a contrast to the English speaking population here in the US who flat out reject the book 8 out of 10 times in public distribution efforts. May Father Yah have mercy on our proud American souls is my sincere prayer.
