On Monday, we arrive at the worksite for the first time and meet our family. When we arrive, there is only a foundation. When we leave at the end of the day, we have eight-foot walls!

Tuesday has been described as 'just like Monday, but five feet off the ground.' Today, we build up to the 11th course in the morning, and apply the SBC in the afternoon.

After two hard days of work, Wednesday is a good day to catch up on rest. We have one intense workday in the morning, then we use the afternoon to see more of the beautiful city of Piedras Negras.

On Thursday, we complete the house. It's a lot of work to cram into a few hours, which makes for a very intense and tiring day!

Friday is an emotional day each year. It's wonderful to see how much we've accomplished and to see what a difference it has made to our family... yet it's sad to know that we'll soon be leaving.

We had a wonderful week in Mexico, but it sure was wonderful to come back home! Saturday, July 11 was basically a day full of travel.
