More Mexico


A typical dwelling in the Colonia we were working in.

That's Jenn sleeping, and me wishing I was sleeping. I think this was the second or third day of travelling on our way down to Mexico. We were gone for 11 days - 6 of those days were spent like this - travelling in either the bus or the van.
This is the Epic team - minus Stuart and Somer. That's Lance, Sigi, Jenn, Me, Trystan, Jasmyn, Merlin, Jen, and Kevin.

My Twin... and other shots...



That top image is the auditorium where we had all our meals.
The bottom image is myself and Sara - my twin apparently. Sara is also with YWAM Calgary, a student in their PCYM school, and we worked together mixing concrete and mortar all week. We were also asked A LOT if we were sisters. People were shocked when we told them we'd never met before this trip. However - Sara and I DID connect hearts in what feels like a significant way, and we will be hanging out now that we're back in Calgary.

More Wall Building


That's Becky, Jenn, and Eelco. Becky and Eelco are both from YWAM Calgary. One of the most significant aspects of the trip for us from Epic was the heart connect and relationship that was built between our community and the YWAM community.

Stuart...


A study in the fine art of wall building?

Sandstorm

This is one of the smaller sandstorms, and you can see how much dust and sand is in the air.

Mexico in Photos

Yes, that's me - with a mask to limit the impact of shovelling sand, cement and mortar in the middle of a dust storm...
