Beth says the only reason I come down to Mexico is for the fish tacos. That’s not exactly true. They also have really good beef tacos!

I thought of you all today - those of you who have tasted and appreciate the fish and the shrimp taco. I had one in your honor.

We surveyed the second building site today and were pleased by the progress. The house will be for a lady named Rosalva. She has two young children and is the sister of Milo. She finalizes the legal papers on her lot this Monday and is so close to realizing her dream of owning a home.

We met tonight in the home of Lalo and Vicki for a devotional and dinner. There were about 25 people in attendance. We sang, prayed, and the gringo (me) is always expected to present a lesson. We had dinner and afterward we finalized the work plans for the summer.

Javier, Lalo and Milo keep the work going here in Ensenada. Both in a spiritual and physical way. We made our plans, spent some time in prayer and are excited about our new challenges and opportunities for this summer.

If you’ve never been part of a team like this it can be hard to put into words the sense of purpose which comes from building a house for someone else. We can’t wait to get to work.

The believers here live such simple lives and it is always a meaningful experience to be with them. They always want me to teach yet I’m always learning so many valuable lessons from them.

We are looking to cordinate our house-building projects this year between 4 different church groups. This in itself will be a challenge. Your prayers for the success of this effort are appreciated.
