May 19 . Oceanside. 2nd night.

May 19 . Oceanside. 2nd night. I arrived in Oceanside5:30 yesterday . Mike came to the train station to pick me. It was so easy we recognized each other at the first glance. It was so easy we understood each other when we started to talk. He traveled whole world. I have been having that dream since i was a child. He has very open mind, relaxable character and thankful heart. Sometimes two persons may share big happiness through conversation. That was Mike and me. Mike is my first couch surfing host family, I am so thankful that he received me without asking much about information about me. That reminded me of Brad and Christina I met in Santa Monica, we had only 1or2 minutes talk, and then they decided to let me to sleep in their home. But in Nevato, I worked with Tom two whole days, his wife absolutely refused his letting me to stay in their home a night. without trust, where is love? Without God, where is trust? There is such words in the money of the US: "in God we trust " . In years I had thought why it is not " we trust in God" ? the sentence is reversed. Someday I understood, we trust IN God , out of God, we cannot trust anything. In God we trust, in trust we love. Mike started couchsuffing host 3 rears ago. his first couch suffer was a 25 years old girl, named Christina, he was 55 single man at that time. He has never married. We can imagine if Christina had any doubt about Mike, she would not stay in his home. Mike told me, when he saw travelers were in needed , he just wanted to tell them " come to my home, I give you a place to sleep overnight. But how they can trust me? So couchsurfing helped me to let this dream come true. " There are so many people looking for opportunities to help others. without trust we even would refuse God's love through His children 's hands. Mike showed me his couchsuffer photos album, from Christina until the last, there were so many interesting stories. A young man named illot ran more than 4000 miles across the US. I watched his video. It touched my heart. Life is beautiful, something worth to pursue in this world. Mike is blessed. The second day we went to San Diego zoo Sarafi park. The weather was perfect. it was a busy weekend, God' s children enjoyed seeing his beautiful creations. Every life, doesn't matter animal or plant, is a vessel of God's love.we received life from God 's hands and breath His breath. And now we enjoy seeing each other. Mike treated me lunch, we ate noodle and spring rolls in a Vietnam restaurant . Afternoon I walked on the beach and pier and downtown or anywhere while Mike took nap on the sand under the sun. This Evening I cleaned the kitchen. Last evening I cleaned the bathroom. Mike is my blessing on my journey, I hope I am his too. May God bless Mike Amanul!
