Praise God that we are now back home.

We had lunch with the family at Todai today. Afterwards, we decided to swing by church to see how is everyone doing and if we can help in anyway. When we got there, the Toms said that they are heading home already and that scripps ranch is also safe to go. We confirmed after we got back to Janet's mom's house that that is the case.

So our home is pretty much untouched other than soot everywhere. The hose that I left out in the front yard trapped piles of soot which will need to be washed off. It's awesome to be back home and actually a little weird knowing that we could have lost all of it.

We don't know yet if anyone from our church has lost their home. (Earlier report that our Cantonese Pastor may have lost his home turned out to not be the case as his house turned out to be the only one standing. What a miracle!)

Just want to let you all know that we are all doing okay from the fire. It's pretty crazy down here. At around 2 PM we got the order from the SDPD for a mandatory evacuation. So we packed both of our cars and drove down to Janet's Mom's house and that's where we are. The sky is clear down here and the air quality is much better

The girls are doing okay. More exciting then anything for them. Sarah is enjoying being out of the house and spending time with Maykay. Her only complaint was that she didn't get to watch Disney Channel as we have been watching the news constantly. Catherine is also having fun crawling everywhere.

Needless to say, no work for me today and looks like for tomorrow too. Sarah's school is also closed tomorrow and Wednesday.

Anyhow. Appreciate all your prayers.
