Day 6 (Tuesday)

This trip is flying by. It's already Tuesday and the trip is almost over.

Today I continued installing the electrical fixtures with Brenden and Saxon. Saxon replaced the outdoor lanterns and Brenden did all of the indoor lights. Brenden did such a great job on the electrical that I was able to let him work by himself installing. All I had to do was check the connections, which were always right on. He was a great help!

Luke was out digging holes and making cement. Luke did an awesome job with Pastor Darrin on the perimeter fence. Extremely hard work in the sun. At the end of the day Luke was riding a bike around dropping off water bottles to the teams. He became the self proclaimed runner of the group.

Everybody on the teams worked very hard today doing a variety of projects. I saw Debbie and Leti painting. Anna and Emily moving large chunks of cement and debris. Todd working in the cistern with Randy! Ewww gross! Brandon was just dirty when I saw him, so who knows where he was? What I do know is he works hard, so where ever he was he was giving 110%. Phil was all over the place helping every where from digging holes to helping me on electrical stuff.

After we worked we went over to the orphanage and played with the kids. I spent two hours playing with Reynaldo, Ernesto and Brenden. What great kids. Even Leti the young girl that I met last year sat on my lap. She talks and talks and giggles. Not sure what's going on, but she sure had lots to say!

For dinner, the orphanage staff made dinner for us. Steak Ranchero, homemade tortillas, guacamole, and Mexican rice. Nothing better than the real stuff, while sitting with friends on the porch in Mexico.
