I am still living with your ghost, Lonely and dreaming of the west coast

Lupita made us another super delicious breakfast which inlcuded pancakes today. We had our Chi Kung lessons today so we biked down to them. They were really good today, I think our instructor is starting to notice a lot more and the connections we make there are getting deeper and more numerous. Storm actually invited one man (Peter) to lunch with us sometime and we got his number and visa versa. So that was awesome, Bruce and Kelsey came with us since a third of our team is missing (Congrats Puck and Kelly (who probably wont be reading this)) and we got lunch at the Gyro place which was like being smacked with a blast of Greek goodness (or wherever Gyros are from). We rode through Santa Monica and watched part of a concert, it is the 100th anniversary of the Santa Monica pier so there is a series of concerts and stuff. They did a cover of Lady Gaga's Poker face so we left. We did not do a Prius count but Im sure if we did there would be another ridiculous number. We got back to the church and helped Scott put bricks down for the new courtyard they are building. Essau came back which made us happy, he went to Kentucky and they saved 650 people!!! Thats awesome!! We went to the Hispanic talent show after that and the top winner won 500 dollars. The band that won was Essau's two kids and they sounded awesome. Ben the middle son can drum better than anyone I could ever imagine who is in Middle school, he is ridiculous. The talent show was fun, trying to hear a sermon in Spanish is always an interesting experience. We went to an In and Out Burger joint and let me spare you the questioning in your head and anxious anticipation, Cookout beats In and Out, any day. We look forward to our teammates coming back tommorow, we really miss Josh and Luke.
Some prayer requests:
1.) Fathers ( my dad is amazing and he deserves more than one day)
2.) Peter
3.) Tony
4.) The church we are staying at is having an event on the 27th and we need to capitalize on the opportunity for more outreach
5.) Outreach opportunities in general
6.) Santa Monica
7.) Venice
8.) Puck and Kelly just got married :)
Happy Fathers Day!!!
