Today we went to the Cateryata. This is a poor area on the out skirts of Monterrey. The houses have no rooves, some walls, and usually no water. An out house no roads, kids with no shoes, and no food. No money, barley any jobs, and barley any Hope. We worked on the communty center and church building today. We did some concrete work, and Uncle Tim and I built wood benches. Victoria helped prepare lunch, which was hot dogs, and dad cooked them. Mom went around and invited people to eat. she brushed up on her spanish a bit. The day was very draining emotionally. Although this was my 3rd time there this monthe, and Victorias 2nd, we are still in complete shock when we arrive each time. Uncle Tim and I walked around the "streets" and passed out candy to the kids. It was a really great time to talk and hang with him!!! We ate at Pollo Loco to night. (Crazy Chicken) which is sooo good. Definatly Victoria and I's favorite!
sorry the post is a little short tonight, we didnt get home from Bible study till late tonight! Pics to come tomorrow!!!!!!
Thanks everyone!!

I remember last year hearing about your visit to THE RIO which sounded to be as poverty stricken as where you were yesterday. It made such a huge impression on Victoria. How poor the people there were and the little they have. The unthinkable conditions that they live under. And the fact that they are still happy.When Victoria came home it gave a new new appreciation for everything we do have. This should serve as a reminder that we do not have to have "things" to make us happy as long as we have each other and our faith in God. Take with you what you experienced yesterday and bring it home and continue to make a difference.
Love ya both so much Mom.H

Our true wealth is the good we do in this world. None of us has faith unless we desire for our neighbors what we desire for ourselves.
