Yesterday we went to a neighborhood on the north side of Sacramento. Part of Josh's internship is to write a proposal for how and where we would plant a church. We picked North Highlands (double the average poverty levels of the US) as our neighborhood. We went there yesterday just to get a sense for the community. We visited a few parks and drove some of the residential streets.
While at one of the parks where Josh, Will and Alex were playing on the toys and I was in the car because Matt was sleeping, this car pulls up with this young guy whose talking really loud on his cell phone. I over hear part of the conversation and I must say I don't think he sees me in the car because what I hear makes me think that some sort of exchange is going to happen. Then Matt wakes up so we go over to the toys too. I keep a watch over at the car and this other car pull up a few minutes later. The young guy gets out, chats with the the new dude, gets in the car for a few minutes and then gets out and they both leave. Now I'm not entirely sure what took place but I can make a guess. I'm sold on the neighborhood as this makes me feel just like I'm home. Boy do I miss my neighborhood. Can't wait to be home.

So a drug deal makes you home sick? Is this a good thing? Ya I think so to.
Ohhhh! You missed a good bust down in front of Sam's a couple weeks ago. Don't worry! Ron made sure to walk down and scope it all out. :o)
Yeah, it kind of makes me sad to think of all the scoping out I'm missing with Ron. Oh well there's still August.
