We must have crossed the border about 20 times during our second week. We were without any teams coming in, and so we helped our contact take food back and forth from Texas to Juarez to help the community members who are in need.
We worked many hours in a warehouse moving food to take back to Juarez.
We set up this shelving and loaded all these boxes onto it...more sliced jalapenos, black beans, and rice than I've ever seen on one place! :)
On our free day, they took us to the desert of New Mexico to shoot guns - my first time ever!
Look at that form...
This was our "near arrest" day, when Matt was being held hostage by the Mexican authorities. If you look real close you can see him down in that grate.
Waiting for him to be released.
Oh no, Matt! What's gonna happen?
I got bored and started trying to be artsy.
Oh, the sweet taste of freedom!
I think lugging all that heavy food back and forth took its toll on the vans. This was like breakdown number 7.
We found this tarantula while waiting on the side of the road.

One last view of our large Mexican flag.
