Nelson, Cindy and Team,

A phenomenon I've been experiencing since our return is seeing our new Guatemalan friends everywhere I've been this week. I'll turn and think I see Estella or almost bump into someone that reminds me so much of Sandra or Feto. It has happened many times this week and then I'll remember that I'm here at home safe and comfortable, clean and surrounded by my friends who love me. Tuesday evening at church I sang with our group and felt the connectedness we had last week; I wonder how our GC friends are feeling. Are they safe and comfortable? Probably not by my definition but we all saw how they depend on one another and spend time with each other. They were not so different were they? I do wish I could make things better for them and maybe we did in a small way. They made me different seeing how they persevere with so much adversity. I met a lot of heroes last week and some of them so young. Again, I want to say how proud I was to work with all of you and certainly our Guatemalan families. I'll will never forget the grandfather in his wheelchair thanking us for his beautiful new home. How humbling that was. We must go back. Sally
