Pray for Guatemala


It's a normal day when a few kids are running through the door when the bell rings. It's an odd day when half of your class is missing and teachers still haven't shown up. Something isn't right when your typical seven minute commute turns into forty-five minutes. Today is "Columbus Day" in the States but here it is something quiet different. Here, today is the Day of the Spanish and there are always demonstrations but today was different. Today there were deaths and injuries caused by an unsatisfied country and a stagnate government. I pray that tomorrow would be better and that this unrest may come to an end. It was hard today hearing the truth about things that are and are not being done in this country. It's the little things in democracy we take for granted the most...

  1. It's incredible to think that while we take Columbus day for granted, the Day of the Spanish can have real meaning for people. Stay safe!
