Yesterday evening, Fr. Michael bade us to dwell on the following: Christ created us to be loved by him, and thus to be like him and share his love with others. Today we poured a concrete slab with hand mixed materials, which ranks a 9.3 on the love-o-meter.
The day began with morning prayers and a hearty breakfast of beans and soy (as per usual). We then piled into our colossal white vans and took to the dirt roads, slowly winding our way into the colonia and dispersing to our respective work sites. After meeting the families and a brief prayer (again!...we love it), we began leveling the land and pouring cement. A few hard hours of work and many animal crackers later, we drove in the last of our anchor bolts and smoothed off the last corner of our foundation. JOB DONE!
We returned to bucket showers and a dinner of beans and soy (again!...we don't love it as much as prayer, but it's good), and following prayers we settled in to hear one of our two favorite Canadians, Geoff Bray, discuss why we come to Mexico of all places, to help the poor. Now we're off to bed and looking forward to framing day en la manana! Buenas Nachos.
