We'll be serving with Esperanza International (www.esperanzaint.org) in developing and supporting communities by helping with different housing projects. We'll be working side by side with members of the community as well as the families whose homes we're helping to build. Through the humbling experience of working on someone's home together with various activities and interactions with the community, we're able to develop a deeper and lasting understanding of life in this part of Mexico and what it truly means to serve those in need beyond borders.

Not all about the food


Dear Readers,
Today, Saint Michael’s and Sacred Heart went to the same work site as on Wednesday. We spent the day pouring cement to make a floor as well as moving around a lot of dirt and rocks. We shared a delicious meal of beans, rice, and a stew made up of potatoes, carrots, and chicken. Yum! We also visited a store nearby the work site. The owners of the house were very friendly and welcoming. They helped out a lot especially with carrying the heavy buckets. My arms are soo sore!!! Afterwards, we went back to the Pasada and had some much-needed down time while St. Louise went to the orphanage. We did laundry, cleaned dishes, and played a quality game of volleyball in the dark (the ball was impossible to see). For dinner we had delicious French toast, hash browns, sausage, and watermelon. Though I could go into much more detail about our wonderful day, we are all exhausted and ready to fall into bed. We’re all looking forward to sharing our experiences with you all in person in Seattle. Until then, Adios Amigos!
