Day 1
Greetings! All the Mt
Michael students with their dads arrived in time to Mexico. We made it out of Mexico
City in record time. Arrived to the village where Br Dustin had a big
taco dinner ready for us. After a nice meal around the campfire we said
our night prayers and then rolled out the sleeping bags.
Tomorrow mass at 10 am for the
villagers and we begin work on two houses.
-------------------------------------------------
Day 2
Today we had our first day of
work. We started out with mass with the villagers at 10, Fr. Dan and Fr. Eamon
celebrated. The day was pretty warm, but soon turned to rain. We still started
to work on the houses because we don't have any time to spare!
We have three groups working,
two on the house and one on furniture. The first house has all the walls up and
the windows and doors are framed. Tomorrow we will start the roof and mixing
the cement.
The missionaries started a big
village wide soccer game with all the children; the people have been good to
us, we are eating like kings: tacos all you can eat!
