San Antonio Day 2:  just a quick reflection...we spent 14 hours with these fine folk (staff, volunteers and documented migrants)...these asylum-seekers have passed thru the border and are awaiting transportation to their final destination...they are primarily families who spend their days at a center and their nights at the church where there are MANY rooms that look like this...no pillow but a cot and blanket...if someone needs to get their bus, they are walked there, no matter the time...Joe and I walked this babe and her very young parents to the station at 5:30 AM ...we both had tears in our eyes as we hugged them goodbye after watching them wade thru the travel info...it will take them 2-3 days with 5 stops to get to their sponsored destination...with. a. toddler.

I believe they will make it because they were intelligent, responsible, hope-full, gentle spirited folk.

I also believe they will ADD to our society.

I feel privileged to have had a moment to walk beside them.
