Our time here, after 2 days, has been filled with a rich variety of experiences. The immersion has taken place with respect to: Our locale (San Ysidro, next to the border); learning about the political and economic forces that have heightened immigration problems; some understanding of the human toll at the border; Tijuana (with a trip there today), and the dynamics of being in a group of diverse individuals. Carlos, the director of the study center at which we've planted ourselves, arranged for 3 musicians (singer, violin, guitar) to be with us tonight, capping our dinner and our day together with fun and heart-felt music. And now we've returned to the church at which we've been sleeping. The night will end with reading, homework (for the students), and possibly some common games. The game "Mafia" has been a hit so far.

I am so curious to hear about your first trip across the border. Please share some specifics of what you saw and learned. Did you experience something different than you expected? Do you feel safe? Have you been to Friendship Park yet? I am thinking of you all constantly and pray for heightened awarness and deep contemplation. Lots of love, Shelly
