Today was the first full day in California. We spent the morning at church: Menlo Park Presbyterian Church. It is really a cool church. The people are extremely nice, and John Ortberg (the pastor), is phenomenal. He is engaging, friendly, funny, but most importantly, he has content, and he uses the Bible! That, unfortunately, seems to be something a lot of pastors do not do these days. But the church cares about following the will of the Lord, and making an impact in the Bay Area.The rest of the day was spent with our friends the Docters, who live in Piedmont (just to the east of San Francisco). We drove up there, and spent a couple hours hanging at their house. They have decorated it so cool, and made their backyard a Jungle Cruise thing like in Disneyland, planting banana trees and bamboo. It is so cool. Then we headed into the city for dinner at a Vietnamese place. It was really good! But the Docters are great people, and fun to be with.A good first day in California.This post has an accompanying photo album
