I'll keep praying for you!
*hugs* California's not a dump, it's just largely populated by the Hispanic peoples who moved from Mexico in the hope of a better lifestyle. Therefore everything is in Spanish. ^_^ Unfortunately, they sometimes are exploited and paid very low wages as gardeners, construction workers, etc.
I should pray for those in that situation, too. I used to live in California, and I love it very much despite its being very run-down in some areas (like the one I used to live in ^^) and mostly comprised of gays and liberals who stop the spreading of the gospel and the institution of what is right, intentionally or unintentionally. (that was an unnecessary tidbit ._. I can't help myself. ^^;;)
But I understand your desire to live in Washington. ^^
Remember, although I desire that you get what you so passionately want, that God's will and purpose for your life may include staying where you are, even if only for a little while. God can use in wonderful ways right in the place you are currently standing! (or sitting, heh
*not funny to anyone else*)
I pray that God fufills the desires of your heart and works things out for the better!
Remember, God works for the good of those who love him!
God bless and take care. ^____^ *hugs*
