We're back from Mexico part 2

This is a picture from last year. We took a team of highschool students from a Christian school in Maine. They poured the columns. LeTourneau did some work on this site in March and the church itself raised money to do more work done.

What a great accomplishment for them to get so far in just one year. Eventually they will build walls on the lower level, creating SS rooms. The top will be the sanctuary. This is looking at the back of the church. The road in front of the church is at the sanctuary level. 3 of our team members this year went with us last year too.
This is the altar at the end of Calixto's last sermon. The man in the maroon shirt came back to Christ after walking away from his faith since the death of his young son in the Spring. His 2 year old was run over by a truck. The town people think the driver did it on purpose as he is very against the Christians and the church there. We believe he is now in Jail. Placido and his wife were just swallowed up in grief. Here is Christopher mixing concrete. He worked so hard and enjoyed every minute of it! Pop-pop you would have been proud! Here you can see the front of the church a little bit. In all of our years of doing this we have never seen such a big pile of concrete to mix!! Many towns people came to help out with the project although they are not christians.
Here are the girls! This is the river we bathed in last year. This year it was too cold and the river was churned up because of the rain...it rained a lot! So, catherine and I didn't really take a bath while we were there...I tried to post a picture of the so called "shower area" but it didn't come up. One "wall" to the shower was a row of hibiscus plants, the other 3 "walls" were stick poles with some sort of bag for coverage...coverage was minimal at best! But, we stayed clean with wet wipes just fine! I was able to wash my hair though which was nice!
We are scheduled to return to Mx in February and again in March...Anyone want to come with us??
