First day on the construction sites and it was awesome! We were divided into 3
different sites with our families.We each had different experiences that were
equally eye-opening.
The Silbernagel-Orthner-Mulcahy-Rick and Sharon-Skeet site
experienced fun building with the Mexican kids, awesome laughs, and yummy ice
cream! We also had interesting experiences with the bano which is a hole in
the ground surrounded by garbage bags ( The bathrooms).
The Cirankewitch-Crane-Kanwischer and Quaid-Oishi site had fun playing with Ana (the daughter from a house built last year) and interacting with the family on site trying out their spanish skills.
The Meyers-Herman-DeVries team had a fun filled day flying
kites with Javiar one of the boys were building the house for. The kite was
very cool, they were made out of whatever was available (garbage bags, bottles,
and string). We also painted with Eliza the little girl from the family we are
building for. Jesus, the other little boy, ran from person to person putting
smiles on all our faces with his endless amount of energy and happiness. The
Mother was extremely grateful and helped in whatever way she could.
houses. The families receiving the homes were all eager to help and be involved
despite the language barrier between us. At the end of the day everyone was
feeling tired but still excited for what is going to come these next few days
and to connect even more with the families we are building for as well as the
families on the missions trip.
God Bless!
