Hello all,
It is great to be able to hook up like this. Congrats all around it sounds like everyone is doing great. I am up in Logan freezing, not so much that it is super cold but just the fact that me and Stephanie have returned from Mexico. We were there with the spanish club, there was 25 of us and that mostly meant it was just a big headache for me because I am the president. It was a great experience because we were able to do a great humanitarian project. We work with a foundation called save the children, or FAI fundacion de apoyo infantil. Anywas we helped a family of five, (mom and five children), the were running from an abusive father. They were living in a cardboard box type of home and we helped build a new adobe home. Which is great in this part of mexico because the temps reach up to over 110 degrees in the real heat of the summer. The adobe helps the cool stay in during the summer and stays warm in the winter. We also dug a hole more than 2.5 meters deep that will eventually become there bathroom. When were in Obregon we worked from monday to thursday and then went up to Guyamas and San Carlos. During our time in Guaymas I proposed to steph so now it's official. We are getting married on the 2 of june in the mt. timpanogus and having our reception in Ogden later that day in her grandparent's back yard. In San Carlos we went to the beach and got fried some people spent more than 6 hours there and came back so red it was hard to look at them. We had a lot of fun and really had a chance to connect with the family, it was so good to take a step back and become humbled again. It really is the closest thing that one can do to feel like you are on the mission again. Well I wish everyone well and for a parting thought I leave you all with a Vernellism, "eat more carne!"
