"Oakville [Iowa] is a small community along the Iowa river just 30 minutes north of Burlington [Iowa]. In 2008 a small dike was breached on the river and flooded the town with up to 4 feet of water. Cornerstone United Methodist Church put together a team of 14 members to help rebuild homes which were damaged."

"When we were first introduced to the family for whom we were building a house, my first feeling was one of joy that we had gone forth with our planning. Jose informed us that we were only the 4th team that had come to Juarez this year. Normally he greets 40 teams each year. It was difficult to know that Jose and our maestros have had almost no work this year, and that the families waiting for safe shelter have been put on hold indefinitely."
