So today was the last day of work in San Jose for the college team, Big, and myself. Right when we got there we started off working. Some of the team went to get the roof on the new house while the rest of the team started making volcanoes for different projects to finish the house.
Before lunch Mo, Holly, and my mom went with Chico to deliver a bed and some cots to the kids at their school that the team decided to help out with. From the stories the family seemed so happy and grateful to receive the gifts.
After lunch we got back to work to try and finish the house. When the older kids had recess I got to speak to some of the kids and we just joked around and it was a blast. At the end of the workday we all gathered around the house that we had been working on and prayed over the house and the family. We got everything done but the wall that fell and the windows and doors. So Manuel will finish that up this weekend.
Today was the steakhouse dinner which was fun like always. Of course there was the usual food ordered and a order of juevos de toro for the group to try if they wanted to. After dinner we came home to do our nightly devotion and we watched a slide show Big made of the house we had been working on. It was great to see and Raf was there to enjoy it all with us.
Everyone is starting to pack and head to bed for an exciting tour day tomorrow of zip lining. I am pretty sad to have to leave. This place has been my home for the last 6 weeks and these people have become part of my family. It will be hard to say goodbye tomorrow to them all but I know I will see them soon and our memories will always remain.
Love to all,
Chris
