After a day full of snags, we finally made it. We crossed the border about 10:30 and got settled in by midnight. Chris and I are trying to get used to the heat right now. There is no AC in the building we are staying in for the summer and that has me worried. From someone who likes it cold when its time to sleep, this is going to take some serious adjusting.
The girls don’t know we are here and will undoubtedly be surprised in the morning. I got to talk to one of the oldest girls, Lupita, tonight before heading to bed. She assured me the girls will be very happy to see that we are here. They are also unaware of the pool party we have planned for tomorrow. Peggy has put together beach bags/purses for each girl with toys, drinks, snacks, and a towel embroidered with their name. I cannot wait to see their faces.
Peggy and I are also meeting with the architect for the orphanage tomorrow. We will be discussing plans to build a gazebo on site to provide MUCH needed shade for the summer. Currently the only shade outside is under the trampoline. Hopefully we can get the project underway soon. Other projects will follow soon afterwards.
For anyone I haven’t told, I am here with a guy from Austin named Chris Alexander. He recently graduated high school and will be going into the Coast Guard soon. He has already been a big help and is also excited about everything that we have planned for the summer.
Pictures and updates soon
