David's Mission Trip to Tijuana, Mexico

David went to Tijuana, Mexico with group of men & some of the boys from Newsong to build a home for a family in Tijuana. He left with the guys on Friday evening and returned home late Saturday due to the super long Border Crossing. Here are some pictures that David took from his trip.

The Newsong men met at Costco in Tijuana where the local guy guided them to the location. Apparently the people who live up in the hills are considered the "poor" people because they are so far away from the convenience of stores and restaurants. And so if you own the land, you can purchase a home like this for about $3000.00.

The border crossing took about 2-3 hours. Then another 2 - 2 1/2 hours to get to Irvine.
All 20 of them went to Arirang Korean Restaurant around 9:00PM for dinner. You know they were HUNGRY!

Here are some pictures of where they went.
