Experiencing My Sisters And Brothers: What a Great Weekend

My parents, bless them, made the trip down to visit Nogales. After getting lost crossing the border and an hour of phone calls and missed turns, they finally arrived at the comedor. They whole gang waited around to say hello. When the finally arrived I was so so happy to see them.

We spent most of the weekend walking, talking, and serving in the comedor. It was great catching up with them and simply spending time with them. Even walking around Nogales, AZ, a pretty boring town with hardly anything to do, I was still on cloud nine simply because I was with them.

Not sure why but my dad was really digging this picture...

Chatting with gramps on my moms phone.
We managed to get a call out to the grandparents which was really nice. And I was able to wish my brother a happy birthday. 19...

My mom also put together a bunch of soccer gear that David nor I use anymore. There is an orphanage that some of the other volunteers spend time at and we brought the gear over and spent un rato playing with the kids and meeting the sisters that run the place.

My parents took the whole crew out to eat one night at El Torro. A steak house which people got a kick out of because both my mom and I are vegetarians but we found mooore than I fair share of food there.

The following night the sisters invited us over for dinner. We had a great great time. Two bottles of wine and two cases of beer later we made our way back to bed after an amazing night of talking and just enjoying eachothers company.

I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to pass a weekend with my parents. My mom had a chance to practice her spanish and my dad still had plenty of chances to talk with the men and women that passed through teh comedor because, to be honest, many have better english than me! After sitting in the line to cross the border with my mom, a quick yoga session, and then a rapid meal in the comedor, it was hard to say goodbye. However I am happy that they got to spend time with me doing things that I feel truly passionate about. Thanks guys...
