Friends & Volunteers

There are moments when it can feel like we just aren't quite enough hands around here at Back2Back Cancun. That's why we're thankful that God is allowing us to meet some incredible people along the way. A few weeks ago we met a couple by the name of Patrick and Audra, from Mississipi. They are waiting to begin grad school in the fall, and just followed a prompting from God to come to Cancun for a few months to serve in whatever capacity they can, and we are so glad to have meet them!

As we anticipated the arrival of a couple of families that we hoped to pour Noehmi's roof with, we knew that we needed to do a couple of intense hours of work to lift pre-poured beams, and block to the top of the house in order to have it prepped for the pour. Patrick and Audra very willingly agreed to help, and I also recruited our teenage buddy, David, from the Casa Hogar Esperanza. So the three of them, myself, Mau, and Enrique the mason headed out to Tres Reyes to sweat for a few hours. It was hot, and there was plenty of heavy lifting involved, but praise God for the perfect team of laborers to get the job done!

Audra and Patrick, ready and willing to lend a hand!

David, hmmmmm...maybe supervising at this particular moment?
