Brooke!!!: Hola! Recap from Mexico

I just recently got back from my first mission trip to Piedris Negris . Memorial Road is working on building a special school for handicapped children. One of the requirements is that if they attend this school then they must attend a special church which will be added on to it. It will be a large school and still has a couple more years until it will be complete but they will start the school long before everything is done. Their are 40 spots which are already filled and at least 100 + on the waiting list. People who have handicapped children never attend church because their child can be disruptive so that is part of the efforts for those families. Last year when the singles group was down there a tornado destroyed everything that they had built. They say now that it is a huge blessing that it happened bc with the special missions contributions the project is alot further along then it normally would have been.

I have never been out of the country so it was quite an experience for me. We ate delicious food and so many great moments with everyone.Max Pope and his brother-in-law Kenny were head of this trip and I couldn't have asked for better men. Max spoiled us so much and was just so fun to get to know too! The work was hard not to mention the 110 degree weather we had but we overcame it all and its something that I'll never forget!
