EARTH BREAKING NEWS


Metro UPC Update: Oct 8, 7:00 am on Franklin Ave, in the city of San Diego, Ca., was sited some earth shaking going on. No it wasn't a earthquake, it was a D5 Bulldozer scraping the ground and moving the dirt for the foundation for Metro UPC of San Diego. After prayer the team began to work. The dozer was moving dirt, the compactor with a blade started to scrape the soil and everyone was busy at work. Some surveying was being done to give Bro.. Rolondo some elevations for the depth of the pad being excavated. Silt fencing was put in place on the perimeter of the property.

The water meter was installed last Monday and Pastor Dominquez thought they had the water service ready to use. When we started to hook up a temporary water spigot, we found out when we opened the valve there was no water coming out. The SD Water District was called to check it and said that they would have to come back Monday to locate the problem. Thanks to our neighbors next door, they so kindly allowed us to use there water for the day.

We still needed a large amount of water to saturate our pad before building it up 8 inches at a time. We decided to ask the SD Fire Department to come with their trucks and soak the whole pad. ANOTHER MIRACLE and Thanks again to SD Fire Department.

After the dust settled and the sun began to go down, thank you Sis. Sherry for the Pollo Loco chicken dinner that was provided for all the workers. I wish you could have seen the smile on all the workers face when we said, " Sis. Sherry has some chicken dinner for us." We ate dinner and fellowshipped and prepared for another day. Thank you Jesus, another great second day of progress for Metro UPC San Diego.
