In the words of 1940-1960 American Actor Gregory Peck, “Tough times don't last, tough people do, remember?” If it means survival, people will often do whatever it takes to save their families. Love is an extremely powerful motivator; it can move mountains if need be. In the case of the Mexican families living in the El Paso Segundo Barrio community, the mothers of these families did what they had to in order to remove that mountain of poverty and separation that stood before their children. To do this, they accepted and followed the terms which the Houchen missionaries gave them in exchange for resources.
