Yesterday we had another late wake up and serenaded Alicia with las mañanitas. We then ate another batch of delicious banana pancakes and prepared to leave. We attended church at St. Ferdinand's in Arivaca. The people there were so welcoming and excited to have us there. Father Neely gave the homily and spoke to us about hospitality, forgiveness, and love. After the service we gathered with the congregation to eat lunch prepared by the members and to talk to them about their experience of living on the border. This was the first time that many of us heard about the other side of the issue. Their viewpoints enabled us to see an added layer of the complexity over immigration and its effects on life along the border. Then we headed back to Nogales for some group fun at Arizona Bol bowling alley (daniel had the high score) We had our daily reflection and then celebrated Alicia's birthday with a yummy cake. Then it was off to bed before we had to get up at 6:30 am the next day.
Off to the comedor...
