built a house in mexico

this past sat dp and i joined a group of people from our church to build a home for a deserving family in tijuana. this was dp and i's first big volunteer roles together. it was a wonderful experience overall. we nearly missed the trip though when we woke up at 4:40am and was supposed to be at the meeting place at 4:45am! hehe. anyways, the pictures below share the experience more than we can. we learned a lot and it was a humbling experience given the life they lead compared to our cozy lives here.
us at the start of the trip. behind us is the family's original home.
