We have already reached the end of the second day. We have done much lifting, moving, digging, mixing, pouring, laughing, hugging, smiling and catching up here at the Posada and at the workplace.
We have joined three groups. They are each from Washington State and have welcomed us with open arms and hearts. We have worked long and hard thus far, pouring cement both days thus far. We finished digging a foundattion on Monday and begain laying brings and pouring the cement for the walls. There is much work to be donw, but we are working togther well and haveing a good time.Marcus and John are doing very well. They each have takien many great responsibilities even as first timers and have not faltered in these tough efforts. They have done much bonding with the community memebrs and those in the groups that we are joining.
Mary is a cement mixing superstar and I think she has found a place here, its hard not to when you are around these people. She even looks beautiful when she is covered in cement and dust...
All else is well here. Eduardo greeted me with a big hug and we shared a beer in the shade. The higlight of the trip for me thus far. I love this man and this program with all my heart...I need to be here more...It feels really good again to be around this quality and calibur of people. Service isn't just something they do once a week or once a year here in Mexico. They live and breath a service before self lifestyle and some are giving their lives to the idea. A true inspiration for myself to see that others have similiar goals and ideas in life.
Service is alive and well. Evidence from my trip to South Korea to my time here in La GLoria, there are man who could use a hand and there are peole willing to do something about that...
I hope this finds you well, be safe, strength and honor...
