Day 11

Rio Grande Valley Rally!

This morning started out with an early morning trip to the lumber yard to buy materials. We bought lots of windows, roofing materials, etc. for Hilda's house, and more plywood for "the bird house."

The work is really going amazingly well. By the end of the day, Hilda's house had a completely dried-in roof, and the house was wrapped in black insulating felt. So, tomorrow, the crew will be ready to put shingles on the house, and begin finishing the interior. The bird house looks a TON better! Half of the roofing material is new, and there's no more danger of falling through the second story balcony!

This evening, I loaded up our crew from Huntsville, and we went to dinner in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico at Arturo's. Dinner was great as always, and we shopped after dinner. I bought an ugly cowboy hat, the kids all got new sweaters, and we bought two silver crosses and a colorful bell maraca for Cooper...

Needless to say, we are ALL tired. It's time to go to sleep and prepare for another early morning tomorrow.

Grace and Peace,
Ken and Brandie
