We're back

It is Wednesday afternoon and I am back in my office for the first time since we arrived home late Sunday night. Mexico was an amazing experience. God did so many things while we were there. First of all, we had no major problems or injuries. We all made it back safe and sound. Secondly, we got a ton of work done! Finally, God worked in our lives as individuals and as a group.

As for the projects, we...

• fixed the foundation of a cabin.
• built two concrete retaining walls that will prevent water from entering cabins.
• succeed the exterior of, oh I don't know, 3 full cabins?
• began the process of rewiring all four existing cabins.
• secured a swing-set in place.
• put up fence posts around the swing-set (although we weren't able to put the fence itself up)
• put up posts for the dogs to be chained to.
• put curtains in all four cabins.
• cleaned up the entire camp on the first day and again on the last day.

Most of these projects were not super expensive. So much of our funds went to tools. We purchased:

• Eight shovels
• Two pick-axes
• Two wheel-barrows
• A rotary hammer (I think that is the name...it's like a jackhammer)
• Two sets of alan wrenches.
• A couple of random wrenches.
• A bunch of other tools that I either can't remember or don't even know about.

So, anyway, I post more about the trip in the coming days.

Oh, and one other thing, we do have youth group tonight (Wed, Aug 10). I hope to see you all there.
