Good Morning Everyone! I am back from Mexico but may still be scarce the next two days as there was a mishap with a fundraiser for my Boy Scout Troop while I was gone and I am trying to help finalize things. It is just one of those things where no one was at fault but it has to be dealt with. So off to volunteer work I go. I hope all is going well for you my readers and I am going to be writing in my head as I made deliveries today. I wish I had one of those voice activated tape recorders so I could talk through my posts and then transcribe them later. That would put some use to my degree haha. Anyway haee a great day and hopefully I can stop by with a quick post late tonight if I am still awake.
Tapestries ~ Monday
Today was the first working day on the missions trip to Tapestries Of Life. We headed into the orphanage this morning at 7:15 AM and were there for approximately 12 hours. I spent my day cutting wood brackets for closet rods and sanding solid wood doors. It was tiring work standing on concrete floors but there is a sense of joy knowing you are making a difference. I have to head out now as devotions are about to start but hopefully I can find time to show you some pictures later. We have nothing to complain about near home and sometimes it is hard to realize until you see something worse first hand.
Mission Trip Update
We have arrived in Fabens, Texas. Today I attended church in El Paso and then went to tour the orphanage in Mexico. It is heart breaking to know the work really needs to be finished so that over 300 children can move in but it isn’t done and there is a lot of work to do yet. This project isn’t like building a house or other structure in the states. It is all being done by volunteers and donations. While the project has been a slow process the beauty of what has been accomplished really almost brings a person to tears knowing some children will have a home instead of living on the streets.
However, I am quite exhausted with possibly 2 hours of sleep last night (not steady sleep). I think I might head to bed but hopefully tomorrow I can share some pictures and let you know what tasks I will be working on during the week. Have a great night!
