Hi everybody! I am doing so good down here. God works in wonderful ways! On wednesday I went to mexico with half of the project and we went to the orphanage to visit these kids that have been in the worst situations. These kids were so happy to see us come! All they wanted was us to love them.The orphanage is owned by a christian couple and its funded by them as well. It is probably the best place that kids could go too! These people were so nice and giving! After the orphanage we headed back, it was unbelievable to see how many people were trying to go over into the states from mexico, i guess that there was a soccer game here in san diego between mexico and Argentina on Wed night. It was cloudy all day Wednesday and it even sprinkled a little, which is very rare for this area. Then on thursday I met with my ministry team at ten to finish the video for FNL. In the afternoon we had another group gathering and then they gave us free time from 3-7. At 7 we had something they like to call NOR (night of reflection) this is where we go and spend 2 hours where it is just you and God. This is probably my most favorite time on project so far. Today (Friday) the sea world students headed out for orientation, and the rest of us that dont have jobs get the morning off and then this afternoon we will do outreach with the staff. Please continue to pray that i can find a job. If this one at the Boat shop doesnt work then we are running out of options. There are a bunch of kids that are running out of options as well, and we have tried almost every place in the area. Thanks again!

P.S. I will try to update this every 2-3 days.

In Christ, Todd Singer

San Diego Week 1

Wow, what an amazing place. It is so beautiful out here in San Diego. The temp never really gets above 85 and there is always a cool breeze off of the ocean plus there is no humidity. I am staying in the Santa Clara Motel. We are about 100 yards from the bay and a block and a half from the ocean. It is so beautiful, i cannot truly describe in words how nice it is here. My plane coming into San Diego was about 2 hours and 45 min late so I didnt get to Mission Beach until about 3:45 pacific time. Once I arrived they had me do some paper work and then they sent me out to find a job. Sea world only hired about 50 of the 120 students this year due to some unfortunate things that have happened. So there are 70 of us trying to find jobs within walking or biking distance. The hardest thing right now is to remember all of the names of the students here. I am staying in a room with 5 other guys. The room is a little bigger than a big dorm room. I am on the communications team, so i will basically be in charge of helping edit the videos for FNL (friday night live) this is a gathering that we do on friday night for anyone in the community and we show a video that we make and Somebody gives a message. So far in this first week we have spent 3 days sharing the gospel, two on the beach and 1 at a college.Today (Tues) half of the project went to mexico and the other half went to the college campus of UCSD. I went to the college. Here we spent the entire day presenting the gospel and having spiritual conversations with students. At 2:30 today we had a bible study where all of the project students at the college got into small groups and we had bible study right there on campus and any students that wanted to join us could. Tomarrow I will go to mexico and spend the day with the kids at the orphanage. I have only been out here for a week and it feels like a month already. The staff have really kept us busy these first few days and now i think it will settle down a little. I just want to say thank you again to all of those that are praying for me. It is amazing to see how God has worked in poeple's lives in just one week. Please to continue to pray for the students out here and that we would be 0pen to what God has in store for us this summer. Thanks again! and oh, sorry if this blog jumped around a little, i was having a hard time getting all of the events in order.

In Christ,
Todd Singer
