The 2008 Servant Event was "The Year of The
Roof". Nearly the entire week was spent
constructing and replacing roofs at three different
locations in Mexico..
A few days before the youth team arrived in
El Paso and Mexico they learned that Lupe Celaya, their
long-time friend and work companion, died unexpectedly of
a heart attack. Just minutes before his death he had
been helping construct a small home for the family on
whose property the Martin Luther mission had been
established. To honor Lupe's memory, and to provide
shade for the mission services, Trinity's team constructed
a large "portico" roof in front of the newly
constructed home.
They also removed and replaced the
deteriorated roof for a family in the poor settlement of
San Francisco, and completed the roof on the San Francisco
mission. The team also participated in rehabbing two
homes in the colonias outside El Paso.
