Building one Home at a Time







These are a few photos of a building a house a couple days after Christmas. This home went to a family, Eseban,Olga and their three kids with one more on the way. They lived in a small, one room structure, with a dirt floor and a tarp roof. They shared one bed and were trying to build on the house to make a bathroom when we came in and built them a house. The team got so excited with the bathroom the family was trying to build, they decided to finish that too!

Family










We are were so privileged to get to know the Fox family for the last three months they worked with us. Now they are going to Kona, Hawaii to work with YWAM there. I got to take some family photos of them around the base and in downtown, Ensenada. It was super rad and I felt like I was able to capture some special moments. It was very hard to pick just a few...

Beautiful Friends





These are two of my great friends from Canada, Melissa and Ranee. We had an awesome time hanging out together for a few days after not seeing each other since February. One afternoon we ran around downtown, Ensenada, and I stalked them with Christian's camera.

Autumn





"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house.
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne



"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."
- Eric Sloane





"It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life."
- P. D. James

Self Portrait



My name is Lindsay. I have blue eyes and brown hair. I love to laugh. I hate to cry. I love to laugh so hard I cry. I love people. I am probably like a lot of people. I am also very different. There are a lot of things that make me unique.



I said I love to laugh. I LOVE to laugh. I find humor in most circumstances. I said that I am unique. But there are many things that I have that I want to share. I believe that happiness is circumstantial, but you can have joy all the time. I have a lot of joy.



I want to share this joy, I even know where it comes from. It comes from the hope that I have in Jesus Christ. I live for Him. I consider it the highest privilege. Because of the hope I have in a God who saves, I have great joy.
