I think this is a fabulous idea-my husband and I are planning on going on the upcoming trip in October and we are very excited! In other areas of ministry that we have been involved in, in the past, to create relationships, time must be spent...while we are spending time with them while building them homes, imagine what could be done if real friendships and relationships are created!

I just got back from this last trip Oct. 20-22, 2006. I have to say that I enjoyed this trip so much. I loved that on Sunday we went back to see some of the previous homes that had been built and "talked to " some of the people that we gave homes to. I believe that spending time with the community will be a great thing. I would love to participate on the monthly visits. Although I do not speak spanish, I would love to participate anyway. I loved the idea that Sophia mentioned about the once a month Coffee meeting. Thanks Jon for bringing this to CHC and to all that participate, the smiles and tears of joy that are expressed by the families is worth it all.

I also just got back from this latest trip and I think monthly visits are a great idea. Though I don't speak Spanish, the joy these trips bring to the families is obvious by the smiles on their faces. Especially the children! I would love to participate in visits as often as I can.

Thanks to all that participate and a HUGE thanks to Jon Hall for bringing us all together to make it happen!

Sounds like we all need to learn Spanish! (I know I do)
