Hola from MEXICO!
Today has been very busy but so much fun! In the morning, groups broke off into 5 different work sites. Doing various jobs such as pouring the ring of the roof, preparing for foundation, rebar and many more. Around twelve we met back at the compound for lunch and then the dedication of two houses we built. The dedication was very humbling because we realized the true impact it made on the whole family. Also we bonded so much with the families because we made real connections to their lives. After dedication we all went to pour a roof for a lady named Gabby. With our large group we finished quickly and had time to come back for Vacation Bible School. We played many games, sang songs and at the end we gave the ninos Bibles. Right after VBS we had a fiesta with the families in the neighborhood and the people whose houses we have been working on all week. During dinner we (Chelsea Queen and Rachel Ross) sat with a group of women who spoke no English. There was an obvious language barrier but we could still understand each other. We talked about the animals here and the horrible conditions in which they live. Towards the end of the meal one of the ladies asked if we were finished so she could save the food for another meal. We realized how much we waste and don’t appreciate. After everyone was finished eating and playing we had our group time talk where Sarah talked about “Surely we can change the WORLD.” It was really powerful because she showed us not matter what age you can still do so much. Mike led us in worship that was amazing as usual. We just got back from a mid night taco run and woo took us it was AMAZING. Bullard just showed up and he wants to tell everyone hello yahhh. We are having a great time and this week has gone by really fast and we are all really sad that tomorrow is our last day at work ;(. Hope everyone’s doing well and we love you all!!
Bullard is back and he says good night.
With mucho mucho mucho amor,
Chelsea Queen and Rachel Ross.
