One last thing about the Mexico trip... This trip, I did the worst thing possible. I did something that I totally regret and did not know how to react after I did it. This here is my confession.....



I saw Macario, one of the boys I love. He's 8 years old. He was standing looking down with his back faced to me. I was drinking my water and thought about all the times he has played tricks on me. I thought, I should so go up behind him and pour water on his head. He would find it funny and we would just goof off... so I thought. Well, he started to turn around so I was kind of turning with him so he wouldn't see. I started to pour the water, right when I saw what he was holding in his hands. It was too late. The water was already starting to fall. Some splashed onto what he had in his hands. I felt awful. I apologized and apologized and tried kissing and hugging him. He looked down at what I just did. I finally began to ask him, who is that? He said, "Elyot's sister". It was a color copy on a piece of paper. It meant a lot to him, and I'm sure to Elyot as well. It now had water spots all over it and there's nothing I can do about it.

He fully forgave me about an hour before we left.

Faith of a child--he's forgiven you. It's now in the past. Move on from it. You had no way of knowing that he had something precious such as that in his hands. Pray for his friend's sister to whom the picture is of and pray for him.
N. Ireland is great so far. I can't wait to come back and share with you! -Jen

I have totally forgiven myself, but I was trying to write it from his perspective and stretch myself a little more. :)
