Hi Bell Parents & Friends,

We were very blessed last night with excellent home stays. We met this morning at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church and took the bus to the San Diego Zoo. It is an outstanding zoo with attractions including a two-year-old baby panda, a children’s zoo, a Skifari aerial tram, and a guided bus tour to name a few. We had the choice to spend the day in the zoo or also go to the adjacent Balboa Park.

At 4:30, we boarded the bus and went to the Chinese Evangelical Church in San Diego. After setting up the bells, we were served a delicious Chinese dinner prepared by the church members. The bell ringers performed an excellent concert to a very appreciative audience of 85. Katrina’s grandparents from Phoenix and her aunt and cousin from Oceanside, California, were there. Also Allison’s mother’s cousin and her husband, a pediatric cardiologist from San Diego Children’s Hospital, were in attendance. After the concert, we were off to our home stays. It was another great day!

Tomorrow, the plan is to go to SeaWorld, with a concert at Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church in the evening.

More later,

George & Dawn
