I am going to Mexico for Spring Break and I have some mixed feelings about the whole trip. From what I know their whole government is run by Mexican gangs and there is a lot of Gang warfare going on down there. People have told me to be careful and some have even told me that I could get shot. I don't know if this is true or not but it doesn't help my worries. My mom signed me up to go with my church a couple weeks ago and i'm going there so that I can help build houses for the homless people living in Mexico. We're supposed to build a house in about 4 days and from what I understand the houses aren't going to be that big so I don't think it's going to be that much of a challenge. I've always wanted to live in the danger and now I get to go where there could possibly be a lot of danger. That'd be pretty cool if I got shot and could come back and say, "I got shot in the leg by some Mexican gangs." I know that the pain would be excruciating, but I think I can handle that. I know that going there will be hard because their living conditions aren't that good. I know that for at least a couple nights I will have to sleep on the floor and I know that their water down there isn't safe to drink so that will be a different experience for me.
