First thing in the morning today, we went out the the Gospel Mission Project where we helped in the construction of a shelter for women and children. The girls where sent off to clean the floors of rooms that were already ready and the guys were sent to aid the workers in landscaping; yes, the staff there was wonderfully sexist. After that we left for the courthouse to witness the judicial proceedings of the undocumented immigration process first hand. It was a very striking experience for many of us because of how real and mechanical the system for the conviction of undocumented was. Since it was very depressing and gloomy we needed something to raise our spirits. For this purpose we visited the wonderful land of Dairy Queen and spent a fun evening dressing in the clothes of the other gender in the "Gender Bender" evening (details withheld for privacy reasons :().

ps: Sorry for the lack of lots of good pictures for our group today. We were not allowed to take a camera into the courthouse so our biggest visit of the day was undocumented (no pun intended)
