Trip Report
Here is a letter from Concho, full of gratitude, as he sent it in Spanish and translated to English.
Here is an album of pictures from the Dedication of Concho and Gabriela's house when Dave & Susi returned to visit our friends in Amecameca along with their fellow Spanish student Kathy three months after the team's mission trip. It was a thrill to enjoy a meal with Concho and Gabbi in their new house. It was also very gratifying to hear how excited the entire community is with their growth -- having added 25 new families to the Amecameca Habitat program and completed three additional houses in just 3 months!!
