Mérida 2026- Day 6

Mérida 2026- Day 6

Today we got picked up by Jose at 9:15 a.m. to go to the mission. Once we arrived, some of us helped in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for the panuchos while others spent time playing with the children at Nueva Vida.

After working for a while, we ate lunch together. When lunch was finished, we continued helping out before taking a short break to refuel for the rest of the day.

Around 4 p.m., we started assembling the panuchos for the people who had ordered them. Once everything was prepared, we were able to eat some panuchos ourselves.

Afterward, we helped package more panuchos until the work at the mission was finished. We said our goodbyes to everyone there, and Jose brought us back to the house. We ended the night with reflection and by reading our affirmation bags.
