I am aware of the fact that none of the pictures I have put up so far include pictures of the Mexican people, nor of the actual city of Juarez (where all the traffic and businesses are found). See, I'm actually living in a suburb of Juarez called Sauzal. It's got more open space and tranquility. But don't worry, more pictures will come! (Eventually. When I take them).
In our cafeteria we've got this giant map of the world hanging on the wall. I am not the only person who loves to stand in front of it for more than five minutes at a time, just wondering things about each country. What might be taking place in all the different parts of the world? It's so vast, and yet so traversed already by mankind! I like to envision visiting each place and experiencing its unique culture.
So now I'm going to seg-way a little bit, if that's okay with you. The world is fascinating. But I think most would probably agree that it's got some problems. (And no, I am not referring to the environment). What I mean is the problem that lies within a person's heart, causing him/her to manifest hate, violence, disloyalty, and basically every other bad thing imaginable. What is it? Certainly something lies behind every action.
I don't believe that there is an excuse for any of it, but I do believe that there is a hope for all of it. And that hope is redemption, available for anyone who wants it, through Jesus Christ.

Below that: The farthest building contains both girl's and guy's dorms, as well as the cafeteria. The closer building is our chapel and classroom.
