Mission trip #2

This week we have welcomed the second mission trip.  It is a group of High School students from a Maur Hill Mount Academy in Atchison Kansas.  It has been a blessed trip and we have really enjoyed the kids who came.

Eliza decided she wants to start helping holding the song signs!

 We had a very successful week for work projects as well!  First we put a concrete topper on a roof for a woman named Marta.  We put a concrete floor in her house as well.  Then we were able to put a new sewer line in for Fansisco who's wife is pregnant and due in April.  Their tank was full and the city had just put in a new sewer line, however they needed to provide the pipe and connection from the house.  We then wrapped up the week by installing an underground power line to the new chapel in Mogote!

 Nothing like digging through dirt and granite to put an electrical line 4" in the ground.  

It is very exciting to have groups come and experience Mexico with us.  Consider coming on a mission trip yourself!
