A Series of Unfortunate Events

A TRIFECTA OF TRIBULATION:

1. My camera got eaten by the ocean. It's sitting in a bag of rice, hopefully drying itself out. I'm afraid I might have to do rudimentary stick figure drawings to document my journey from now on...

2. Some awful human in Alabama has been using my debit card number. To buy what? Flatscreen TVs? Diamond encrusted goblets? No. Miscellaneous items at Walmart. (Come on, dude, go big or go home. Walmart? Really?)

3. I may have contracted a little something that starts with "d" and ends with "engue fever". Got some tests done today, the results will probably come back negative for dengue and positive for 'crazy like a fox'.

WHY'S IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY:

1. Look at that two week old puppy! Look at him! See, it's all going to be okay.

Aside from the recent onslaught of awfulness, it really is lovely here. We went up to the mountains of San Gabriel on Tuesday to do some witnessing in Spanish. I'll share some pictures and stories soon.

Congratulations to all the pioneers in Mission Bay for finishing their first week of Pioneer School! And an extra-special shout out to one of my favorite participants, who I like to call "Mom".
