We had quite an eventful last week. A fire broke out Tuesday afternoon in the hills directly behind our home, near a trail called Jesusita (hence the name of the fire). We were evacuated and displaced for 3 days, but gracious friends housed us during this time. Praise God--we are now back and our home is okay. About 80 homes were lost, though...please pray for the people affected.
The fire burned over 9000 acres of mostly mountain but also some residential areas. It came extremely close to our home, so we are very grateful to the fire fighters but more so to our merciful God who sent cool ocean air on Friday night to calm the fire instead of the weather forecasted hot, dry, and windy desert air. The beautiful mountains behind our house are now scorched and barren, but we are thankful.
