My experience thus far has been one I’ll never forget. I hope to be able to share it with my boys from memory and through pictures. I hope they can understand the differences between life in America and Mexico in a more substantial way and appreciate their opportunities and lifestyle a bit more.

The mountainous terrain on the way to the Indian village today was a beautiful sight. When we arrived there we distributed the gifts to the children from the school and to some people from the village. It was rewarding to see their smiles but disappointing that we didn’t have more for them.

The completion of the floor on Tuesday for the single mother of two was also a satisfying accomplishment and to know their life may be a bit more comfortable from our efforts is a great reward. At the school performance we attended this morning, we saw the two children and the smiles on their faces when they saw our group was great! I hope our visit here in Calnali and to their school helped them feel special in some way and that they will always remember we care about them.
