Projecto de Amastad changed lives of many
By LONN1E JONES
Projecto de Amastad is now
in the past and the 70 people
that made the trip are back in
school. The trip was 10 days
long from departure to return
but most agree that the mem-
ories will last much longer.
El Paso was "one of the great-
est experiences in my life" said
Mrs. Janita Reeder secretary
in the Religious Activities office.
Mrsi Reeder who worked at the
Mission Center in El Paso said
she was touched most by the re-
ports made by the different
teams each night
"I feel that this was our best
trip" commented Marshall
Walker director of Religious
Activities because the students
were more mature and spiritual-
ly prepared the responsibilities

were better outlined and the
response of the people was bet-
ter." Every person had something
to do and usually more than he
could do in a week.
Arrival in El Paso was at 6
p.m. Friday Jan. 14. The next
day each team met with the
pastor whom they would be
working with during the week.
The students were greeted in
El Paso that afternoon by a sign
in Basset Center a large shop-
ping center that said "H-SU
singers on the mall 2 p.m. Sat."
The manager of the center asked
for another performance on the
next Saturday.
After the first performance on
the mall of the center most
teams went with the pastors to
the different churches where
they would be during the week.
Sunday morning was the be-
ginning of lhe revival services
for most of the teams. For many
this was. also the beginning of
personal changes in their life.
"I had a lost of personal prob-
lems straightened out" com-
mented Tony Arriola who
worked in Juarez. "You don't
realize how well off you are un-
til you go down there" he add-
ed. Monday morning began the
work schedule as teams worked
during the day and held serv-
ices each night. Some even had
afternoon services before the
evening ones.
"I saw a good deal of true
concern for the people there"
sophomore Janet McDonald said.
There was "a lot of love and

openness between the students"
she explained relating that she
had worked in El Paso.
The average day began at 7
a.m. and lasted until midnight'
and sometimes until 2 a.m. Each
day ended with a group session
with teams relating their expe-
riences. Afterwards the teams
met for a shot time.
"It was a growing experience
for me to share in the joy and
happiness of others" said Pam
Hicks a sophomore who worked
in the mission center. "I gave
my testimony in Spanish for the
first time" she said.
Friday ended the manual la-
bor part of the trip and some of
the services. Saturday morning
was spent shopping ire Juarez.
That afternoon the group was
again in Basset Center singing
and giving testimonies.
For some teams Saturday
night was the final service at
their church but Sunday morn-
ing was the day for some good-
byes. After the last service
good-bye was hard to say for the
people had come to love the
members of each team.
Sunday at 4 p.m. the buses
pulled out of the mission cen-
ter after a brief meeting and
the group arrived at H-SU at
3 a.m. Monday.
"We brought back a different
group of students than we took"
said Marshall Walker "they had
the same names but had spiri-
tual experiences- that changed
their lives."
"The thing that I learned most
was the sacrifices the people
made for us" said Melba Her-
nandez. "We thought we had
made sacrifices but they made
more" she said.
Everyone that went to El Paso
agrees that it was a trip .that
changed the lives of -most every-
one that 'went.
During the Easter vacation a
trip such as this one will be
made to Indiana.
