After some waiting and playing yesterday, we got down to the business of the house dedication. It was an opportunity for the group to share and express themselves to the family and for the family to respond.
The general feeling is that we are all fortunate to have had the opportunity. That in it all, we have learned as much as we have given and have the satisfaction of hard work well done.
Last night it was noted that this is leaving a legacy. This once in a lifetime experience for the family to receive a gracious gift given in respect. This chance to push the boundaries of normal, of regular, and dare, and risk, and make a difference in our world.
After the well wishes, hand shakes and hugs, we hit up the local taco stand then the beach. There was a gorgeous sunset that night, it was a perfect punctuation to beautiful day.
Becky. i love you. you are the greatest person alive! GREATEST!
Hey Becky and Kelsey. I had soo much fun while I was in Mexico. You guys made it such a great experience. I learned so much and now all I talk about is Mexico and how fun and eye opening it was… and you know I talk ALOT. I’m still looking for that tiara for Kelsey though. I’m determined to find it. This trip has really changed how I look at life and to see how they are so happy with what little they have and we are sad because we dont have a big enough car. And that really makes me sick to know that people over here think like that when there are people in Africa or Mexico that have little to nothing. But they are still happy because they have eachother. I would love to come on another trip like that because it really teaches me alot about the world and how other people live and smile.
What really touched me about this trip was seeing the kids smile and play and interact with us. I really miss them all because when i first met them they were so open to playing and making us give them piggy-back rides. So when we had to leave it was really sad because i grow so close to them and to have to leave them was hard but i know that they are happy with what they have now and they will always remember us for what we did for them and that is the most important thing. For me the trip was really a eye opening experience because i got to see how they lived and played. It really hit me when we finished the house that we did it. we put a smile on 2 great families faces and all we had to do was belive and try. This trip has really meant alot to me and thank you very much. Kela Perrick
Kela:
Your a fantastic girl, I loved the times when I looked over at you and you were thinking about everything that was going on.
It was great to have you and the whole group here, it is quiet now, getting ready with the last details for all of August.
You guys set a pretty good tone for the whole summer. Seycove definitely takes the medal for being the group that has smiled and laughed the most. Have a great rest of the summer and remember to take everything you have learned with you into your future. It looks like it is going to be a good one:)
