Camp, Sweet Camp

After spending a day in Santiago Ixcuintla, we received a break in the weather. Although the tropical storm was nearly 200 miles south of La Paz, bands of weather extended even to the mainland. These bands contain wind, rain, and reduced visibility. The band that was over La Paz yesterday has moved on and we were able to return. Due to the counter clockwise rotation of the storm, we were able to ride a 20 knot tailwind most of the way back. Initially, the storm wasn't forecast to start heading west until Saturday. I know that many were praying that it would turn west and head back to the ocean. Last night, the new model showed the storm turning out to sea today, and already beginning to break up.  It's so good to be back at camp. Thank you so much for praying for us!
