Finally, our first group arrived!! They are from Dominican University outside of Chicago. When they arrived, they were enthusiastic from the start. They had all sorts of questions, lots of great conversation, and plenty of good laughs. We had a wonderful time together. When we invited them to do service in a very poor area of the city; they jumped into the work with full force. 
The last night was the final liturgy. Each one of us shared our thoughts and most meaningful memories from the week. It was amazing the insights that were shared, and to see the impact of the time we had spent together in Mexico. Most of us were moved to tears. We felt like we had found a new family with one another. It was an amazing experience. I am grateful to the Dominican University students and staff that made my first week with students a incredibly beautiful experience!
