| | On the Friday of our trip our entire group was in the Limonada. This was also the day that we had learned of Jamie's cousins accidental shooting death. It was a day of mixed emotions for Jamie and her family. There was joy in the rebuilding of her house and there was sorrow over her cousins death. Ashley asked if we would join together in prayer for Jamie and her family. There we stood around the shell of Jamie's house hand in hand. We were not American and Guatemalan, nor were we gringos or Limonadians, we were all just one. First Pastor Jean offered a prayer in English and then Ashley offered one in Spanish. It didn't matter the language in that moment. This is what we had really come to do -- unite with our fellow brothers in sisters in Christ as one body. Though Jamies family did not know the Lord, I think they found some comfort in the prayer and I hope that they will always hold the memory as I will of us all standing together as one. |
