#12 - Very Rev. Richard Fife

Lots of the learnings are clichéd but I found them to be true. We have so much here in US, take most of it for granted, how exciting it is to work with others who appreciate our help, importance of flexibility, different sense of time overseas, etc. Lots to think about. Imagine folks will be hearing about it in my preaching and teaching for some time to come. God was very good to us. We had a great team. Nan did a marvelous job. Habitat made a lot of connections for us. Certainly would have been a much different experience trying to do it on my/our own.

Good mix of work and fun. Big help having the Goldmans, our Spanish speakers. Tired every night but a good tired. Enjoyed the historic district of Mexico City immensely. Found our Habitat family to be very dear, industrious, hospitable, personable. Felt we connected well with the Charlotte, NC guys well after a while. The roof pour on the last Friday was a good way to end the work week. Thanks to all for making this great trip possible.
