oh boy here we go

so i just wanna start by saying sorry its been so long. see every week we have a weekly disiplen. two weeks ago we where not allowed to eat pig cow PB&J or cereal (most of what us staff eat) but last week was no contact with the outside world. meaning no internet no phones no mail. so that's why i was off grid for a bit.

we had our first group down last week and it was a bunch of kids from Toronto Canada. great bunch of kids the first 3 days we built houses. on the forth day we did a bath house. we checked kids for lice and treated it if need be then washed there hair and feet then gave then some clothes. the whole thing was fanominal. after the Canadians left we had a day group come down. this is where it gets cool after the one week i got to lead a build (well half a build) me and Eddie took a group out and he lead until lunch after that he left me in charge and took off. this meant i had to finish the house and lead the group home all on my own. i was driving a big old truck and they where following in a van. luckily we where closes so i could find my way back to the dorms.

after all the groups where gone we had to clean the dorms and get it ready for summer when most groups come down. one job that i had was to drive one of our vans to the shop to get a leak fixed. here's the catch. i had to do it all by my self. in america this would be no problem. but this is mexico. stop sins are more of a suggestion to maby slow down. and their is no such ting as right of way. you just have to gun-it and not hit any thing wail hoping nothing hits you. the song Jesus take the wheel springs to mind. in addition to their being seemingly no traffic laws the rodes are all covered in pot holes and speed bumps, if ther even is a rode. half the rodes are just a really narrow rocky dirt path. now if none of that sounds bad hears the kicker. the have open air markets (think Saturday market ) on the sides of the rodes. people every wher children darting in front of you dogs laying in the rode its pure chaos. all this to say i found my way to the tier shop spock my sad broken Spanish and found my way home with out killing any one or thing and not crashing or breaking any thin and i was prod of my self.

well thats all for no we got another group coming up but i broke my camera all ready so it might be i bit till i get more pics up but i am putting some up now.
