The weather was nice again today. This is a good sign that spring is here to stay. As the weather gets warmer I think of my experiences traveling in Latin America. The first country I was blessed to visit was Guatemala during Holy Week in April 2007. The spirit of the people, the suffering and joy of the people and the continual oppression has stayed with me. My pictorial essay Buried in Guatemala continues to be one of the most viewed pages on this web site.
With all the talk about the long overdue trial of General Jose Efrain Rios Montt, leader of the ruthless campaign of state of repression, I was happy to receive this article from about his trial.
Reconciliation is needed after a period of horror that the people of Guatemala have suffered. Here is the article, The Long Arc of Justice In Guatemala; read with interest and pray for the people of this country buried deep in the suffering and joy of life.
