The Hawaiian Hiatt's

Brint and I had the opportunity to go down to Rocky Point, Mexico this Christmas break and build home for the people there. This is the second year we have done this with the group called "families helping families." Last year my experience was not the most exciting because the day before we went down I had had my wisdom tooth pulled out, so I was a little out of it and in pain. It was hard to smile. Luckly, and the only reason I went down, was because I had only one tooth pulled out and it was on top. So I am sure it was not as bad as it would have been if all 4 were taken out. 

But this year I had a wonderful experience. I learned a lot and have so much more gratitude for construction workers. That's a TOUGH job! Woo... Anyway, it was nice to be able to be apart of a group that helps and serves others. It reminds me of who and what I want to become. And that is more Christ like. Being able to serve others bring me such great joy. Knowing that I am helping someone in need and letting them have their prayers answered by us taking time out of our lives to help is what I want my life to be about. 

He are some pictures of our trip. Sorry I do not have any pictures of the finished product. I will have to get them from my mother-in-law and post them up later.
