We will only be able to update this blog once while we're in Mexico and here it is.
Today was the third day of work and our project is nearly completed. I know you'll see pictures later so i won't bore you with construction talk.
The family we are building this house for is so beautiful. We have held their 11-month old baby and played with the other three kids every day we've been there. There is an indescribable joy in their eyes that we all agree comes from somewhere we don't even undertstand. We have seen their mom the entire time we've been at work, but dad is normally at work and we've only spent a minute with him when we met.
When we leave they'll have a brand new house, and we'll have... a pat on the back I guess.
Still, they have something we don't. I don't know if we can get that where we live. I hope someday i can taste whatever that is. Contentment, joy, life. i don't know what it is, but we are all in love with these children, this family, and with Mexico. At least I think I can speak for all of us.
See ya in the USA!
