the things we can get away with (done to the ones we love)


I spend the better part of a week in community with a group of lovely people from Chicago who want nothing more than to give of their vacation to love a poor neighborhood south-east of Rosarito , Mexico by building a brand new firehouse in the name of Jesus - and this is how I repay them? Well, one would have to assume after a week of sweating in the Baja summer sun while breathing dust, cement, and suffering through open pit toilets that they would need a little bath, right? Or at least that is how I justify it - that and it makes for a good photo.

this hurt my heart a little bit-- seeing the home and the dirt and the Amor uniforms... that was the best week of my life.
