Luis:

I could not visit you today. We had an important ceremony in church and I did not want to miss it because my mother and I wanted to talk to the pastor and ask for his support. At the end of the ceremony, we looked for him to explain what’s going on and seek an immediate response.

I was really disappointed with his response. He would always tell us to love our neighbor and do good to others… I never would have expected a response like what he gave us. He said that people who are in trouble are those who looked for it in the first place. He also pointed out that legal and immigration issues are matters that only pertain to authorities and not the religious community. It’s absurd! How can a minister of God see life that way? It is assumed that, as stated in his Sunday sermons, we ought to do good without judging who we do it for, and he didn’t even bother to listen to what my mother and I were about to explain—that you’re a young man eager to live a successful life and you’re a good citizen. I renounce the teachings he preached us.

My faith was tested. I do not renounce God, but I renounce His representatives. They preach the gospel yet show another face in times of difficulties. I fear that another door has been shut. I wouldn’t like to go back to church again. Love should be unconditional. I will keep you informed of what is happening out here.

With love,

Zina
