¡Hola! ¿Como Estas? Today we started by waking up bright, and early for some delicious homemade Mexican breakfast at the church. After devouring multiple servings of the amazing Mexican food, we ventured onto a 30 minute bus ride to the construction site. The students were ecstatic to start a day of work regardless of the hot weather, or a short night of sleep. We began work at 8:00am, and worked hard for 2 hours pouring concrete, and moving it to 3 floors to the roof as our Mexicano construction amigos spread it. We took a much needed break around 11 o'clock, but were back at it about 20 minutes later to finish some of the daily projects we had started. After a hard day of work around 1pm some of the students played fütbol at the school with some of the Mexican students from Shalom church that had joined us for work. Quickly we raided the bus covered in dried concrete, and took our bus ride back to the church excited to join the children at VBS. We split up into a group that stayed at the church, and another group that went to a shelter for children. It was amazing to see how much the students opened up, and socialized once they had a day to get used to some new faces. Being able to connect with the children and teach them about God was an amazing sight to see. After around 3 hours of being with the children we are currently meeting back at the church to have an amazing dinner of tortillas chicken and other various Mexican foods!
¡Hasta Mañana!
