Hi family, friends, and members of FCCB,
Well, you will be glad to know that we are safely back home in Bellingham. Yesterday was our last day of work at the site, and we had the joy of building the walls of the house with the community members of Valle Verde. It was rewarding to see all the progress we made on the house throughout the last few days--from filling in the foundation, to pouring the floors, to finally building walls. We worked so hard, building on the house and building community.
After sharing a meal of carne asada and goodbyes with the community, in the evening we went out for dinner at the taqueria. Some of the youth tested out their Spanish skills by ordering at the restaurant.
Our trip home couldn't have gone more perfectly. We did have to wait for a long time at the border, but made it through without any issues. We ate dinner at a nice Italian place in San Diego and boarded the flight to Bellingham. We are home now and look forward to sharing more of our stories with you very soon.
Thanks for your prayers and support as we've been south of the border.
Lots of love,
Angela
