Day 8

We we able to complete the house a day early. The stucco looks amazing. Even though we finished early we still had time to use the broken concrete from the old slab to make really cool front steps to the house. The rest of the concrete from that slab became the fill for two dry wells that we dug so that the nasty water that runs off of the hill behind their house won't continue to drain through the middle of the property. The property was completely transformed and the family was forever grateful.

There are so many stories that the kids will have to tell you about our time here. The build could not have gone smoother and the kids worked together so well. Every evening after some discussion the kids and leaders would all give each other shoulder massages which helped morale for some and nearly brought others to tears.

Today we are going to go to rosarito and visit our family from last year. We are also going to try and get the shoe sizes for the kids from our home now and shop to find them all some shoes. We will be taking the day much slower and we will be back to camp tonight for carne asada. We have been so blessed and everyone has been so good. I look forward to what the day holds!
