Never in my life have I spent so much time or laughed so much in the dark and with three candles. The boys of Moishe House Montevideo turned all the lights off, and searched every nook and crany for hametz in our house. It was a futile search as we had spent the previous 5 hours cleaning and throwing away all the crap in the fridge. After the little search was over we said a prayer declaring that we had NO bread products or flour except in Roi's butt crack.
The night before that was Abraham's wedding where we partied hard. The tequila flowed like Niagra falls (becuase he's Mexican), all the ladies and gents were looking snazy, and the Mariachi band was "en fuego." It was one of the best nights EVER capped off by the crew trying to get the 350 lbs "Bomba" into the air (not so successful). Also Abraham's cousin Ester was very cute.
Finally the end of March caps of the building of 9 houses through Moishe House and Un Techo Para Uruguay. It is amazing that in this time of afflicting for the Jewish people, we are taught to give even the little that we have, weather that be our time, money or effort. Now through our construction, we can know that 9 families will have a roof and that we acted as a catalyst for their upward mobility and pride.
