So grateful….

I am so grateful for family.  I have my niece Mayte visiting so we have more family gathered at the Salomon household this year.  Also, Elizabeth brought a friend from college who lives in Hawaii and she wasn’t able to go home for the break.  Of course, I am grateful I have my mom and [...]

Will you help pray….?

We have been working with the city for more than 1 1/2 years on finding the best way to build a church, innovative day school [...]

Seismic Shifts Study

Retreat….

I am not sure everything is ready for the women’s retreat this weekend.  Please keep us in prayer.  We will be staying in two beach houses in Rosarito which is on the Mexican coast…nearby (just on the other side of the border) but in ways a world away. Hmmmm……a world away…..a good mental attitude for a retreat.  We are [...]
