Monday was our first full day in Cieneguita. After breakfast we broke up into two teams. One of the teams was going to make the full trek (about an hours walk) to the house we were working on, and spend the day putting up supports. The other group went about one third of the way to see the first house that was built by Trinity teams, and then went to the school to play with kids and tell them about the bible school that was being held later in the afternoon.
I was on the team that went to see the children. I will never forget some of the sweet kids that I met. There ability to show love was quite amazing. They didn't let the language barrier stop them from getting to know us. We sang, danced, colored, read bible stories, laughed, played, made bracelets, and most of all made unforgettable friendships.
This was also the day that our team really started to bond. We played cards that night, and sat around and talked for the longest time. Looking back, I would relive this day 100 times if I could.
