The day after Thanksgiving the Kluge's along with the rest of their family that had came in and a few of us went to Nueva Oriental to build a house. The house they were currently living in was made of wooden palets and plastic. So when we first arrived on the site we had to tear down the exsiting house. Which didn't take to much time at all. Then we were there for a good part of the day building the house. The chainsaws that we had were not being very cooperative so it slowed us down a little. We had lots of kids who were willing to help whether carrying boards or nailing a nail. One little kid Oscar was helping me with nailing. He got the hang of it and before long it only took him like 3 hits to get the nail it. That is him in the picture above nailing the floor boards down.
Also in the one picture you will see where the kids were sliding down a hillside. They had taken old pop bottles and were sliding down the hillside on them.
As always experiences like that have a way of lifting your spirit. The joy on the ladies face that we built the house for was beaming. She was hugging all of our necks and saying thank you over and over and God bless you. The day she was approached and was asked if she wanted a house built for her she started crying not believing what she was hearing. What a blessing this house will be to her and her family.
