Day 1 in San Jose

We met Don Felix and his family this morning and took a little tour of the home they live in now. There will be nine people living in the home.

We were able to accomplish quite a bit today not just building the house but with the people of San Jose. Mostly the kids. They are just a joy and they all want to help. I saw my buddy Elizandro on the road this morning as we drove into the village and then he came up to the job site and helped out for a bit. I was able to introduce him to Suzy.

Western Hills youth are amazing. They worked hard and really connected with the kids in the village. They spent some time this afternoon in the church making stuff and Mary and Amanda taught them some dance moves. I can't wait to see how they continue to grow during and after this mission trip. It was a wonderful idea to include them, even though I had some reservations at first.
