Day 6 Everyone






So today we left borderlinks to go to a Unitarian church in Tucson. We listened to Leila Pine from No More Deaths, she talked about the treatment of migrants traveling in the desert by Border Control. Then we drove a long way to Nogales, AZ. We saw "the wall" running through the town and got up close enough to touch it. We tried to talked with a Border Control officer but they were a little unfriendly. So then we got back in the vans and drove to a park and ate sandwiches for lunch and hung out in the hot Arizona sun. Then on the basketball courts we sat down and listened to a woman who was a part of a community center in Nogales, Mexico. She told us stories about immigrants in her native language while Margi from Boarderlinks translated. Then all of the van groups went to "In n' out". It was a good end to a long day. We are excited for the senior worship tonight. Tomorrow we will be leaving a 6:30 to head off to the airport.
Anna, Annabel and Izzy
