Tijuana Mission Trip day NUMBER 2!!!! So far, this is the
best mission trip I’ve ever been on. The group is clickin’ like a mouse when
playing minesweeper and the sun is AMAZING. Today was our first workday and let
me tell you, our generation of high school students is a lot more hard working
than what they are given credit for!
Not only did we all wake up at 7:00am after a long day of
traveling and culture switching, but we went to the worksite and we did work on
it! Everyone was able to level out very difficult terrains, measure the area in
which the concrete would be placed, dig trenches, and survive the constant
sunshine all day long. Mothers and fathers, you should be very proud of your
kiddos. Everyone gave their all today at these worksites and not once did I
hear a complaint.
Something even more amazing than our hard work was the
families’ dedication to the construction of their homes. The men AND the women
and children all pitched in throughout the whole day. The men were so
cooperative and were always on their feet working—EVEN DURING OUR WATER BREAKS!
The women all put in just as much effort. The children did a fantastic job at
keeping the atmosphere happy and motivated. The love that was flowing
throughout our group, the families, and their puppies was almost overwhelming.
I love this trip and the people involved and I think I
speak for the rest of the people on the group as well. Thank you to all the
people that helped us get here.
Much Love!
P.S. I love you mom! And any other family and friends
