It’s 2:00 am and the night is young for the van crew as they head off to a local IHOP were they will have their weekly late night bible study. The drivers and their shotguns are fast asleep in bed after a long 4 hour drive from Reynosa, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. With little rain, the night was an uneventful drive, as it should be, and we are back to the place we started this journey.
The mood of this morning was very calm and easy going with a cold front coming in. Everyone had a hoodie or jacket on in the wee hours but as the day progressed and work assignments were given out everyone seemed to warm up in temperature and camaraderie. With 4 large projects mostly finished the guys can look forward to coming back to seeing what they have had a hand in. At Refugio there is now a new awning for the students as they wait outside to protect them from the elements, and a new shed that will eventually house tools & items for future festivals and events. Also in the outskirts of Reynosa we helped begin and finish the majority of a two story building at an orphanage that is in need of some great support. Though it may not be complete, there is another church in San Antonio, Texas that plans to come out and finish up the rest of the project. And last in Reynosa is the large school that Ray Hansen has been a part of. With the majority of the team today hitting this hard we knocked it out of the park.
We are so blessed as a team to be a part of this adventure and we can all look forward to making the trek again next year.
