mexico - differences

kayguys, so most of you know that I went on a trip to mexico.
first of all- it was AMAZING! we went snorkelling and saw so many amazing different kinds of fish, we sat on a beautiful beach for 7 days, met some really cool people, and had a good time chilling as family and friends. It's a privlege to be able to go to resorts and places like where I have just come back from, and lots of people don't have the money for things like this.

To get to the resort, we had to take a coach bus from the airport to the resort. On the way, we saw tiny houses, squished close together. People were hanging their laundry on the roof, some of the houses were rotting away, and it just looked like a very sad place to live. Now don't get me wrong, these people could have no problem living there, but to some, it may be horrible, devestating and sad.
I've seen people broken before, living in communities that have no hope, and this one looked like the worst out of all of them. It hurt driving past those houses because I was about to step into a 5 star resort, just right outside where people needed help.

One of my brothers friends went to the same resort, and they even went off the resort to a market. He said that things down there were brutal, and there were even dogs walking around looking like they were about to die. I don't know about you-but this seems like a very sad place.

God has plans for these people, and even though it may seem like their lives aren't they greatest, they can still live in happiness because they have a God that loves and cares for them! I only hope that someday I can go back down there on some sort of trip and help.

Mexico is awesome by the way. The water is super blue. You should go there sometime. I highly recommend it. ;)
