With our Team in Mexico!
Hi Everyone! I thought I knew what heat was until we all arrived here in Mexico and started our first project. Wow! It’s 95 - 100 every day and one of the tasks our team was asked to complete involves replacing a roof on a poor family’s “house”. Jerry K, myself, Carolyn M and some others from the churches here tore the roof from the building (it was just rotten plywood) and replaced it with a corrugated metal roofing material. The reason I had “house” in quotes was for the fact that this little place was no more than what we have in many of our sheds. One bedroom for a family of five to share and a backroom that serves as a kitchen. No running water, an outhouse for a bathroom and a curtained off area outside for washing in. They pay the neighbor a few pesos to run an extension cord to their home for electricity. I wish every young person in our circle could come here for a week and they would never complain about anything again! Children and many adults don’t have shoes so parasites and other problems are the norm. But what’s their hope here! The same as at home. That they might know Jesus, the source of Life itself. More on the trip soon! PB
