After eating lunch at the school, we drove to a nearby village to help a family with a building project.  The top 2 pictures show the family's home.  We poured a concrete floor for an addition to their home.  they were really appreciative that we came to help them and the family worked alongside our group.  The women taught us to make tortillas the way that they make them - over an open fire.  It wasn't as easy as it looked!  Bob was worn out after carrying big bags of concrete on his shoulder and hauling buckets down to where they were pouring the floor.  It made us sad to see the conditions that the people live in and to hear their stories.  Their oldest daughter is 15 years old and quit school in the 3rd grade.  She already has a baby who is about one and a half years old.  There was another little girl there who is 10 years old.  Her mother abandoned her and her father moved away with another woman.  She is living with her grandparents.  The look of sadness in her eyes moved us to tears.  Please pray for this family.
