Friday

Friday is the last day of work each week in the colonia. Every group has some kind of dedication ceremony with the family they the house for. Dedication ceremonies aren't the most fun thing to shoot for me, because I have to intrude on the group and Mexican family's intensely personal and emotional moment with my camera click. Here are some photos of the foot-washing(most groups wash the feet of the family they built the house for, as a form of non-verbal explanation of their motives), and some more photos from VBS.




These were taken in the family's new house. The house was built for a man and his wife, who have children and grandchildren. The group who built the house prayed with the family, washed their feet and sang hymns.












This last one is a close-up of Josh Clancy, one of the interns. I am in the reflection from his right lens, and Macon, one of the Mission Discovery staff members, is in the reflection from the other.
