Now THAT is a No Parking Zone




I was out with volunteer Ramon Elkins and Pastor Byron Poma, today.  We were on our way to visit some of the people in the neighborhood.  Instead, they came and visited us.  We were driving up a hill and looked out to see hundreds of people lining the sides of what is normally a small drainage stream.





A silver car was down in the swollen stream and it was the entertainment for the day.  We began asking and found that, thankfully, nobody had been in the car when it went into the stream.















The car had been parked near the house in the center of the third picture.  The bank has been eroding in the heavy rains we are having and that, combined with the weight of the car burst the drainage pipes that were built into the area high on the bank.

 So all of that water combined and dropped somebody's car into the river.  Be praying for Gloria who is a member of Byron's church.  That is her house and the bank is now just three meters from her foundation and getting closer.  We passed out at least 200 tracts and Gospels of John.  Not a bad day.  Of course that was not my car in the drink!
