We met "dark" and early at 4am at Bethany Church for departure. After a little delay in Mexico City, we arrived at the Children's Home at about 9pm (11pm Eastern Time) on Friday night. There was not much time for rest, as we woke up early and got assigned to our work projects. Part of the team has a remodeling project to insert some walls in an apartment so the apartment can be divided in to two separate living quarters. Another group was working to plant ivy along the inside walls that surround the Home to help make it look a little less like an institution and a little more like home. A third group was hard at work putting a protective sealant on lumber that we will be using later in the week to build playground equipment.
It was great to get right to work serving the Home and even with a couple of rain delays, it is the rainy season after all, we were able to get a lot accomplished. We are looking forward to a quick rest day on Sunday and then getting back to work on Monday!
