  • The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative page from the State Department explains the new rules and is updated regularly.
  • We received this pamphlet (pdf, 2mb) from the U.S. Customs that clarifies what documents are accepted as proof of identity and citizenship at land crossings as of January 31, 2008.

We hope this information will be helpful for people planning a visit or mission trip to City of Angels.

We just wanted to let everyone know that we are a good distance from any of the burning and are in no danger of being directly impacted by the fires. The only trouble we’ve had here at City of Angels are the strong Santa Ana winds that snapped the tree limb our tire swing was on (praise God none of the kids were playing down there at the time) and blown lots of smoke this way.

Schools were cancelled in Tijuana yesterday and today due to the air contaminants. Winds have died down in the last 24 hours and classes are scheduled to resume tomorrow if conditions continue to improve. Our prayers go out to those affected by the fires in Southern California. We know several friends of City of Angels are among the evacuees.

We’re hoping to have a text version of a new kid list updated with ages and sizes by the end of this week and by the end of the month have photos for it. We’ll post here as soon as everything’s together together.

They had been working hard since October on a musical drama and did a great job presenting it to all the guests, both from the local community and United States. After the show everyone had a tamale dinner and the kids opened their presents.
