Fun? = 1 More Missions Spot To Mexico

This is something that just kind of drives me nuts. One of the guys who was planning on going to Mexico, someone I really like and didn't get to go last year so I was really hoping would go, he and his mom came up to me Wed. and told me he's not allowed to go. His dad won't let him. Why?

Because he's not going to take a week off work having fun.

Someone please explain this to me. How is taking a week, losing that seven day's pay, to go work, build houses, do some roofing, teach kids, all in the blistering heat, how is that fun? This guy was making a major sacrifice to go, leaving home for a week (okay, that might not be a huge sacrifice for a teenager), leaving his friends and girlfriend for a week (no cell phones allowed on the trip, no communication whatsoever), riding on a bus for 24 hours to go sleep on a school floor in Mexico after working all day, just how is this fun?

So now he can't go, and worse yet, he's paid for the spot. So please, if there is someone else out there who can go, please take this spot. It's a shame he can't go in the first place, it would be a bigger shame if he paid for it and no one went to take his place. Who wants to come have some "fun"?
