Greetings from the Yucatan Peninsula! Our incredible journey with the students from Young Life and the dedicated team at Yucatan Peninsula Ministry (YPM) continues to unfold in remarkable ways.

Today, despite the sweltering heat of 40°C (104°F), our team displayed unwavering resilience and commitment to our mission. Here’s a snapshot of our achievements:

Project Progress:

  • Rods for Bathroom Columns: We successfully built 4 sets of rods with Armex for the bathroom columns, laying a solid foundation for the structure.
  • Land Cleanup: Several team members took on the ardent task of cleaning the land, collecting 4 bags of garbage to keep our project site and surrounding community clean.
  • Column Bases Cast: With precision and teamwork, we cast the bases of the columns, ensuring they are sturdy and ready for the next steps.
  • Block Base Placement: By the end of the day, we placed the block base, setting the stage for wall construction to begin tomorrow.

Community Connection:

Beyond the hard work, we also experienced a spiritual high as we worshipped together with YPM and the local community. These moments of faith and unity remind us why we are here – to build not just structures, but relationships and hope.
