Veracruz, July 2009

Veracruz, Mexico, July 2009

July of 2009 welcomed our second group to the beautiful tropical land of Veracruz: the few, the proud, the brave.

With a grand total of six participants, miracles occurred, allowing us to complete six building projects, change lives, and have a ton of fun in the process. From these six projects, the lives of four families and many others were changed forever.

The miracle of this trip was not only what was accomplished, but how it was accomplished. We began the week excited that two or three members of the community came out to help us help these families. Little did we know what would happen as the week progressed.

At our final project, so many members of the community were involved that one could not place an exact number: there were people shoveling, people gathering rocks, people mixing, people pumping water from the old water pump in the yard, people carrying buckets full of concrete, people bringing food and drinks for all the hard workers, and people playing with the sweetest 10 year-old twins and little Armando. It was a community effort!

Families and individuals were brought together, unified and strengthened through service. That is the miracle, beauty, and power of true service.
