There are so many more pictures I could post, but these at least give an overview of what took place on this trip. Words and pictures cannot capture or express the overwhelming vastness of this area that Ed and Debby have dedicated their lives. I can say without a doubt they have made a difference.....you can see it in Guachochi, and you can really see the difference in the the Indians at the Canyon.
I would hope you all go back to the beginning of this blog and take a look at all the pictures, and comments to get the 'big picture' of the purpose of these trips.
How about considering a trip yourself? Everyone has a gifting that can and would be utilized with these work teams.
I will keep posting updates as I receive information from the Capps, or have comments of my own.....check back often, you never know when I might have more to add. 

 In the center of the picture, you can see the new adobe building...left to right center is the runway for Ed to use when the plane is ready to go.
              Happy group....ready to go home, but sad to be leaving!

Good Morning!.....we packed up and sent all our gear up the cable system, and then made the climb back to the top of the mountain.
 Very colorful!
Church time, before the group served the community Indians supper!
Found a picture of the plywood building that blew down....The new adobe building was built in the same spot, only turned the other way.
Finished......at least what we could accomplish in two days. Pretty impressive to have a group of teenagers and a few adults bring this to reality in that short of time!
 
The floor portion of the building was 18" to 24" deep, and had to be filled in with dirt. Cement is expensive....the sand and cement both must be hauled down the cable system at the ranch, so the 'Adobe' will more than likely always have a dirt floor. Digging and wheel burrowing that much dirt would have taken forever, so the 'dozer' was fired up and put to work. This dozer is a story in itself.....the acquisition and the dismantling of the entire machine, transporting it down the cable system piece by piece and then reassembling at the bottom! We are very thankful it is there to use!
You can see how everyone was working away....just like an ant colony! :)
