ENTRY 50 — March 4th, 2002 PEACHLAND YOUTH MINISTRY A Youth Fellowship member mentioned to me that the local wing of AMOR Ministries was planning an excursion to Tecate, Mexico. The purpose: to build houses. AMOR was in need of chaplains. This was an ecumenical project involving all the churches of the Okanagan Valley. The Peachland group was to be led by Dave Roy, and I was to be the chaplain. There would be twelve teens in the group. Our assignment was to build a house for a man named Gilberto and his family.

The snow however, terrible. its all timing in a lot of resorts. and for us, we hit it at the worst time. it had rained for several days before we arrived. cleared up a bit, but nothing to make note of.
