• Trip from California to Sinaloa

   Our trip from Rancho Santa Margarita, California to Boca del Rio, Sinaloa: 23 hours, 1000 miles, 1 loaded van, and lots of prayer for God’s safety… and God blessed us!  During the two day trip we did not have a single problem or difficulty!  Our minivan drove without any mechanical failure (our first trip in our vehicle),our luggage was protected from falling or theft, we had no difficulties with permits or customs at the border, Paco never once felt sleepy driving, and were not bothered by corrupt police or drug cartel violence on Mexican highways.  What a list of God’s blessing over our trip! 

   

  At one point, a suspicious un-uniformed police stopped us to ask questions about our work and income, but in the middle of the questioning he was distracted with a phone call and waved us on without further delay.  The Lord’s divine protection, perhaps?  Either way, the Lord’s hand was obviously over us!

   

  During the drive, a radio program mentioned a verse that perfectly described our trip: Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”  Thank you for your prayers, because God responded and went before us!
