Students arrived on Thursday. We had dinner together that first night at a local pizza joint near campus. I've been pleasantly surprised by the downtown San Jose area. Lots of stuff within walking distance, which works well for us, and it's pretty nice. By the way, here's an example of how God has orchestrated the details:Nobody on this Project is local to the area and, in fact, only one student hails from California. Three of the staff drove their cars to the Bay (two from Oregon and one from LA). Our Project is 18 people big (plus 3 small kids). Hmmm, the numbers don't add up. In order to get around anywhere, we were looking at having to rent cars for much of the summer. Hmmm, limited budget (due to a small Project) PLUS car rental fees for 4 weeks...the numbers don't add up. Here's where God steps in and says, "Don't worry, I've got you covered."
Truman runs into a friend at a bachelor party in Texas, a week before Project starts. This friend lives here in the Bay Area and is planning on a vacation this summer. The vacation time fits in exactly with our Project dates. When Truman hears this, he asks his friend what he plans to do with his car the whole time. Make a long story short, the friend lends us his car for the Project to use for the entire summer! Carita's cousin, who lives in this area, also happens to have a car available for parts of the Projects. Voilà! Transportation problems solved (I think).
