   "I hope to continue seeing United Methodists and those from other faith
   traditions who want to assist people in search of a better life in Pajarito
   Mesa. I hope that, together, we can follow the example of Jesus Christ."
    - The Rev. Lourdes Calderón, a United Methodist pastor, working in Pajarito
   Mesa.

'God put the mission in front of me'

   ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UMNS) - The Rev. Lourdes Calderón, a United Methodist
   pastor, has found a mission in helping the impoverished residents of
   Pajarito Mesa, a desolate community south of Albuquerque where people must
   make do without electricity, running water or sewage systems. "I was eager
   to learn more about the struggles and hopes of the immigrant families," she
   writes in a UMNS commentary, "but it was when someone took me to Pajarito
   Mesa that I saw where God really wanted me."
