Despite all their efforts of trying to save up money and finish paying it off, they couldn’t. So they decided to return to the USA to work and save up enough money to pay it off. Once it was paid, they returned to Ensenada with the dream of building their own home on their land. They have not been able to fulfill this dream of building their home. This house will be a great joy for them and their four children. A home that will provide a better quality of life that they can enjoy.
