   " In a world filled with challenges, serving others requires courage, resilience and a deep sense of compassion.  Those who approach service with an open mind and heart ( and the ability to laugh when things don't go as planned ) can create meaningful change.”

    We walked over the bridge this morning at the Norte Del Paso crossing in El Paso.  Bright colorful murals greeted us on the Mexican border.  In contrast Barbed wire and the wall dominated the US side.  Juarez was lively, colorful and full of people, food vendors, street shops and music.  We slowly made our way to the Cathedral....we sampled crunchy grasshoppers, purchased salsa bowls and watched pachoukai baiarinas at the park.  We had expected to serve lunch at the Cathedral but it was closed today.  We had no trouble coming or going thru customs.  Border patrol was present.
