MEXIC09-Monday!!!

Hey everyone, Johnny here and I'm excited to fill you in on all of today's happenings! First of all, DC, Kara and I were uber-pumped to arrive here finally last night and jump in with the team! It was clear to see that the team had already been doing amazing things, as you've already read in Steph and Jeff's posts.

So, today we were in two team again and the team I was on headed out to Mama Connie's house which is one of the children's homes known as Manantial De Amor. Over the past 5 years our teams have done some serious work here and it's such a cool thing to realize the lasting, long term impact that we are all apart of down here in Monterrey. Today was the last work day at this location for the summer so we got busy cleaning the kitchen, installing a new chairrail throughout the dining room and prepping and pouring two concrete projects. One of the concrete projects was an extension of a sidewalk in front of the addition being put on and the other was footers and foundation for the new property wall that's being put up. The team worked incredibly hard and got everything done that was needed and Greg, the site leader, said it was the perfect last day!

Tonight for dinner then the team made our traditional voyage to Tacos Fede! Many happy faces and full stomachs! Getting back to campus was cool to see how excited our team is to just spend time together whether it was working all day long, or eating a ridiculous amount of tacos or hanging out play Euchre, Catch Phrase or just talking! The team is doing a great job serving others and serving each other! You should be proud!

Jeff is going to hop on and post what team two did today as well as throw some pictures up from the day. Tomorrow the WHOLE team heads out to the Cadereyta to serve together! It will be a great day! Thanks for all your comments!!!
