Day Six

On Wednesday, January 10th we watched a very informative and interesting video on global trade and food security called “Global Banquet.” Afterward, we went to a Campesino Organization called – Unión Nacional de Organizaciones Regionales Autónomas (UNORCA) to talk about the Impact of Free Trade on the Countryside. After lunch back at the Lutheran Center (the food here is absolutely fantastic, by the way!), we had a great time of fellowship and reflection with some Mexican Lutheran seminary students, together with games, Biblical reflection, and dinner. In the evening, we watched the film “Romero” on the prophetic witness of Monseñor Oscar Romero in El Salvador. I also went over to the local Farmacia to get some drugs to clear up my nose, head, and chest. All of us are suffering from the altitude (7300 feet) and the fact that this is the most polluted city in the world. But, my nose is now clear . . . This was a great day!
