We were happy to meet our assigned family this morning -Trinidad and her grand daughter, Jade (pronounced Hahday in Spanish). Trinidad's property happens to be located in the city of Puerto Penasco, which is very unique since 1Mission generally works in Nuevo Penasco, also known as the barrio. Trinidad actually has a "house" already, though it has no door or windows. The real treat for us was that there are two mesquite trees on the property and with temperatures currently at 91 degrees (at 4:30 in the afternoon) I can assure you we appreciated those trees!
After finishing pouring the concrete slab and building the frames for the walls and roof, several of us hit the local Supermeracdo (supermarket) to shop for basic food supplies for the Children's Home where we will be visiting this evening. Don't tell anyone, but we had enough left to buy two huge tubs of ice cream and enough bananas to also treat them to banana splits tonight! So much for all those calories we burnt off today :-)
