Before we can work, we have to get to Piedras. These are pics from our trip down, including our stay in San Antonio on July 4th and our trip into Mexico on Sunday.

2. Monday

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!

3. Tuesday

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.

4. Wednesday

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.

5. Thursday

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!

6. Friday, Dedication and Celebration

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.
