Pictures from our Mexico trip

Mexico!
July 4-13
(I apologize, I couldn't get the pictures in the right order. Oh well. Enjoy!)

On the way home, we made a stop at Carlsbad Caverns.

Before walking into the cave

Just a picture of one of the rocks inside. It's called the 'Whale's mouth'

One of the precious Mexicans we got to play with. He's one of the 6 kids in the family we built a house for.
Daddy and Alexandro, the trouble maker. :)
Our Casas Por Cristo intern, the pastor who helped us find this family, and the father of the family.

Working in the rain



It rained 3 of the 4 days we were there. On Wednesday we had to dig trenches to keep it from flooding our house!



Putting the stucco on the outside.



Outside the house, once the doors were on



The inside of the house. We put ceiling fans in each room.



Setting up the house frame.
We built a 'large' 3 room house in 4 days

Here's me with one of the neighbor girls on our site
