This morning we assembled food packs for a humanitarian group called the Samaritans! Our group leaders reserved a big chunk of the morning for us to put 150 of them together, but we finished them all in 10 minutes! We were pretty excited to get most of the morning to just chill out, rest, and recharge. After lunch we made “altars” out of gallon water bottles that have been found in the desert, left by migrants. We wrote the names of migrants whose bodies have been found dead in the Arizona desert all over the bottles and decorated them with bandanas. Seeing all those names really legitimized this week's experience for me; it made it seem more real. But no matter how cool everything was today, the absolute best part of today was dinner. We got meat! We got Mexican take-out and had some awesome burritos; it was exactly what everyone needed. Today was definitely my favorite day this week, and I'm excited to see everyone when I get home tomorrow!
