Block #1–Chaz Celaya

     The 1st block has come and past. Chaz, the head of the sound department from the Murrieta Campus, came and taught 1st and 2nd Peter for our first block class. He did a great job. I was really impressed to see how organized in thought, preparation, and presentation he was. I was genuinely encouraged and provoked, in a good way. Chaz was able to not just come by himself but bring his wife(Emily) and daughter(Cloe) as well. It was Chaz’s birthday, so we were also able to celebrate it with a tasty cake and take throughout his trip take him out to some of the beautiful places God has blessed us with nearby. We also were able to play a fun game of American football. One of the guys we have been able to build a relationship with is a football fan and has been wanting to play for a while. He said that he had a ball, so a game was organized with a quickness. The night we played it rained! We played at a synthetic court so the rain actually turned into a blessing and was used to protect us from having synthetic burns when we fell. The 2 weeks Chaz and his family spent here seriously flew. It’s crazy to see that the time is already over. We have Dave Shirley and Mark Shwartz arriving Tuesday to teach the last block but seeing how this last block went, I am scared to see how fast the time is going to pass by. After this 2nd block by Mark and Dave the school semester is over. The students depart from the 17th on and it’s crazy to think that their time is already about to be over. It’s even crazier to think about how my time, soon after that, will be over as well. Please pray for us to finish strong and to finish with no regrets pleasing Him. He is worthy and still has all of us here, pray that we would continue to be fully here and shine completely for His glory.
