Illegal immigration: Coffee importers' efforts to reduce illegal immigration grounded in faith - latimes.com
This was in the L.A. times this week- an article describing yet another ministry that is a part of Frontera de Cristo. I hope that if you haven't yet bought a bag of Cafe Justo from the CPC university students, that you give it a try today!!

I'm still here!!
Hello to my faithful readers- I was chastised by my parents on Skype tonight, saying that I have been a disappointment as a daughter in my lack of blog updates.
It's true. :) I have been insanely busy the last month and a half, and will continue to be up to my ears in work as we have groups coming in until after Easter. But for now, here's proof that I'm still alive!!
Unfortunately, I can't say that for all the members of the Frontera de Cristo family. This past Thursday, we lost Sister Vicky-wife and mother to good friends here in AP. We said our final goodbyes on Friday at a service, and continued working busier than ever.
Life here on the border has remained relatively quiet, thanks be to God. My dog, is now bigger than ever (he takes up all of my laundry basket, his favorite place to nap, whereas just a few weeks ago, he only filled 1/4 of the basket), and my 2 roommates and I have completely revamped our living space, so that now I have my own room! The privacy is...not so good, as my new wall is just some curtain liners hanging between walls, but it's still a space of my own.
The time has finally come that I miss home, and my family, and friends, and CPC a lot- I have gone to the CPC webpage a lot just to see what's happenin!
Hope all is well at home.

Question/Answer
Thank you for your question Peggy! It's nice to know that people are in fact reading, and want to know more! Sorry about the delay in response, there is another group visiting us now, and that means that my days schedules are very full.
Food here tends to be whatever I feel like preparing, if I am eating on my own, or whatever my roommates and I are in the mood for. Last night, the 3 of us sprang for pizza. The night before, I ate at the Pastor's house (where I can be found quite often, as they invite me for all meals), and tonight, I'm taking our group to CAME, the migrant shelter that serves a hot meal every night, similar to a homeless shelter.
My days vary in schedule: every Wednesday, FDC has a bible study and meeting at Cafe Justo at 8 am, and every Friday, the interns meet at 10 am. Now that there is a group in town, my days are a lot more full, taking the group to the various organizations that we partner with. Today, for example, we started with breakfast at 8, biblical reflections at 9, a visit to the drug rehab facility CRREDA, a 4 hour trip to the desert, a visit to the Migrant Resource center, and dinner at CAME tonight.
Since today is so full, this post is extremely short- But I would love to answer more questions!!! Please, please, please, feel free to comment and ask away.
Peace!!
