Day 3 of Building

Today, we had an unusual cool overcast morning. It seems like the next 3 days will be about 20 degrees which does not seem normal or Tijuana. We are all getting pretty use the procedure of getting up, devotion time, breakfast, worship, speaker, prayer, and lastly loading up the trucks to head to our work sites. Jeff Johnson was our speaker this morning and evening. He spoke about his stories and amazing times of Faith in India and areas of the Middle East. He taught us a bit about what Muslims believe and the best ways to communicate with them as Christians. He pointed out many areas of unreached people as well. Once again, we closed off in prayer, and loaded up the trucks.

Almost all of us pretty well know exactly what to do when building the houses. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the youth came back home and wanted to build an extension to their parent's house. Later on in the day, the heat picked up finally. Once again there was not too many kids to play with this time around. The ones that were there were either too young or shy. Once again the Mexican families did not dissapoint with the food they provided us. Anyone to comes to Mexico will most likely fall in love with their food. On a side note, they have 3.3L Pop bottles!

2 of the 3 teams had relatively a smooth build day. Unfortunately the other team had a mis-communication with the family, and had the house built at the wrong location. So they had to dis-assemble the walls, and transport the pieces to the correct location. They had a very late supper by the time they were done. We had a few minor injuries. One of our team doctors accidentally sawed one of his fingers. Our doctor right away stitched and bandaged the cut, so he will be okay.

After work, we once again listened to Jeff Johnson speak. He had a Question & Answer time which was very informative. Afterwards, we have the usual procedure of playing games/socializing for about an hour. I believe I have over half of the Youth addicted to the game “President”. After that hour has gone by, we have a half hour of quiet time, followed by a half hour of devotion. By 11pm the lights go out. Jeff Johnson will once again speak tomorrow. Adios!
