Mexico missions trip

So i am going to try and start blogging again, not really my thing but i'll try :) and just so people know it's been over a year since I last posted.
On March 21 2009 75 studants and leaders from my church, Bow Valley Christian Church, flew to the Los Angelas airport and from there drove 6 15 passenger vans to Tijuana, Mexico (My youth pastor said Rosarito but i'm not convinced that we actually went there). Over a 5 day period we built 5 houses in the poorest part of Tijuana for 5 families.
Most people think that the language barrier is a problem but it wasn't. We used the words we knew (which wasn't much) but mostly we just laughed and used our hands or pointed at something and asked a local. It was an awesome experience to learn more about Mexicans, building houses and each other.
