Just when you think you don't have room in your life for another relationship...you meet more incredible people. Here are some photos of some of the wonderful people I met in Mexico, even if it was for a small moment in time.
This is Pastor Beny. He's only 24 and his whole family is in ministry. He was a gracious host.
This is Lucie. She came up from Jichitan to help us build pisos. Her family lives in really a rural area where there is no schooling so she lives at Casa Isabel (
http://casaisabel.org/) while she attends school.
Carlito and his grandpa. He is the cutest kid. I love this shot. There is no doubt they are related.
These kids were running after the truck when we were leaving the house.
This is a native Zaportec woman in Jichitan. She is selling her goods at the market.
These kids lived at the first house we did the pisos. When we showed up the little boy didn't have pants on. They helped haul buckets of water for the cement mixer.
These girls have a really sad story. I met them at church on Sunday. Their mom is a single parent and left for Mexico City in search of work, leaving the older sister who is 11 to care for her younger siblings.
Gorge (Jichitan local), Beny (pastor from Oaxaca), Clay (sponsor from Oregon) and Brea (teacher in Woodburn) in Juchitan all sharing the same heart to serve others in Mexico.
Kids at Pimpollo. These were the kids that were couldn't understand that I was Chinese and American. We tried to tell them that I was in the gold medal Olympic swimmer. We had a lot of fun hanging out that afternoon.
This kid was helping his father deliver water to houses in the community.
