TODAY
Thanks for keeping up with us for the past few days.
Today marks day two of sweat, concrete and buckets. As the
day progressed everyone became more and more worn out until each and every one
of us had zero energy left. Yet, funny enough, all 17 of us students are still awake late
at night playing games, laughing, and singing (you know how the whole “kumbaya”
thing goes).
The crew worked on building a strong foundation for the
house today and making sure the family had a smooth concrete floor -- and not a dirt
floor. This is the hardest day of work and I am sure we are all happy today is
over, but excited to see the finished house tomorrow. Who knew a group of
students could build a house in 3 days?
As work on the house has developed, so has the dynamic and
friendship of our diverse group. Sweating, shoveling and hoeing sure does make
us feel like life-long friends. From "hoe" jokes to “gringa” bromas, we
have all spent the day laughing, and I am sure the rest of the week will stay
the same.
Our night is still going as the chaperones sleep and no one
can stop eating the sugary donuts so it looks like tomorrow will involve a
large amount of coffee. But all the same, we share our highs and lows and special God
moments as we prepare to make more memories the rest of this week.
Every day we remember that all we do should be done in
Love and for God!
