WE LOVE THE MEXICANS!!!
Hola como estas! Thats about the extent of Spanish that i knew before i came, and now i can ask various different questions to the Mexicans. You never really know how people live, until you have an eye opening experience. The wall that blocks the migrants from crossing the border brings tears to the eye. While you may think, there is no reason to allow immigrants to enter, it is only done under dire and drastic circumstances. Many men are trying to provide food for their familes. I was provided with the opportunity to mingle and converse with the migrants we are staying with. I was surprised to find that a grandpa was ever a part of the group. He and his son are going to try to make the journey across, and when you hear their reasoning you begin to understand that life is not so black and white. I was touched by their stories, and it only made me want to do all that i can to help, becuase their struggle is something that i am priviledged to help with. More stories and adventures to come!
