Esperanza 2016 Day 4: Wednesday

Do to editor's flaw 😄 Your awesome script for Wednesday wasn't published, we'll put it up after our workday today 🙃 The jist of it was it was an awesome day praying at the beginning of the day with our fearless headquartinator, Edwardo, who has led us through this week and made it so special, whose father in law just died early Wednesday morning, then proceeded to the work site and had a incredibly great work day, finishing off the evening with the opportunity to go to a soccer game watching the Tojuana Xolos. What an experience, I'll let our two writers fill it when I put their story up.


Hello! This morning we woke up and made breakfast and had a daily devotion with the whole group. Also later on, we grew closer as a group and had more group prayers. Once we loaded onto the bus, we made our way down to the work site. The colorful houses and open markets have become almost normal to us now! Then, we all hopped out and got right to work. After climbing the stairs we set to work with a bucket line and digging trenches. Lets just say we've dealt with a LOT of dirt these past few days LOL. While some people dug trenches, others were using the jackhammer and clearing out a wall. Its amazing to us how much energy the whole group has, we all keep each other motivated to continue forward! Of course we all look forward to lunch time, especially when its a home cooked meal by all the neighbors and family. It was delicious. After that we got back to work with the trenches and moving all of the buckets of dirt(its a whole lot more than you can imagine). Once we had made enough progress for Eduardo, we headed back to the posada to make dinner for the 42 people staying here! After dinner our group got the opportunity to go to a local soccer game, Los Xolos! It was such a neat and cultural experience and we all enjoyed it, even if we tied 1 to 1. After the game, we took a cliche American photo and was able to have a young boys soccer team join us! The ride home was longer because of traffic but once we all got back, we were ready for bed.
Thank you for your continued prayers, and see you all in a few days!
Love,
Kristin P & Kecia H
