This home was built for the Imelda Arreguin Picazo family. The pastor chose this family because she is a single mother and she has had a stroke and is now disabled. Her son is the one taking care of her. This blessing would change their lives in so many different ways.
Here are the 17 guys that traveled to Mexico expecting a very warm work site. Unknowingly, day 2 and 3 of the build started out with 28 degree weather with a high in the low 40s. Regardless, God's work was still accomplished and a home was constructed.
This was our groups 2nd build. The weather was cold, 28 degree nights and 40 degree highs, but the team perservered.
Get a first hand view of the family. It was an honor to give only a few days knowing this home would be a lifetime change.
