Reflections of St. Mark's Episcopal Church 2009 Trip to Nigromante, Mexico

"Saludos en el nombre de nuestro Senor y Salvador Jesucristo, que su gracia y paz sean siempre con usted." (Bishop Benito of the Anglican Diocese of Southeast Mexico in a letter to Father George)

Translated:  "Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that his grace and peace may always be with you."

Despite the language differences, it is our mutual affection, our faith, and now, our newly shared history that bind us to the parish of San Marcos in the Diocese of Southeast Mexico.  This June, Father George led thirteen others on a mission trip to Mexico.

This was our fourth visit to San Marcos in Nigromante.  The first year, we were introduced to the parish and its community.   The second year, we purchased and built a play set (which has been lovingly cared for and is still enjoyed today); the third year, along with community members, we scraped and repainted the church roof and worked with leaders of San Marcos to conduct VBS classes for the community children.  This year, again with the help of the parish, we painted the inside of the church, installed fans, worked together to hold VBS classes, and helped cook and serve a breakfast intended for the childrenof Nigromante but that also fed some of the marginalized members of the community as well as passing Central American immigrants.

Reflections

"When we first arrived in Nigromante, it wasn't just smiles and handshakes, it was hugs and kisses on the cheek, even from those I had never met. Just walking through the street we were invited into homes to have some juice or just to talk." MCB


"Even though it was blazing hot, I loved every minute of being there.  I now know that we have a special place in the hearts of the people, just as they have a special place in mine." MB


"Working together towards a common goal, depending upon others and letting them depend upon you, reaching out in and being touched by simple acts of kindness and generosity, seeing past external differences in order to see what binds us together are just some of gifts I received by taking part in the trip to southeast Mexico.  I came back with a bigger vision of God's work in the world and what it can mean to be connected with our brothers and sisters in Nigromante." TB


"I would have to say that being in Nigromate, even for a short while, makes me want to be more humble."HC



More Reflections

“It was at that moment that I saw the beauty of St. Marks and San Marcos relationship. Goodbye is never goodbye but a see you next year, a continually growing relationship in the body of Christ.” MH


"Some of the things that we helped out with were leading a vacation bible school, painting the inside of the church, and preparing a spaghetti dinner for the people in the town.  I also enjoyed being in the bakery and seeing how they made different kinds of bread and pastries, and I was able to make some with them.  I also really loved playing outside with all of the kids." FS



More Thoughts on the 2009 Trip to Nigromante

"Again, they succeeded in giving me a new perspective on the world.  They were thankful for our presence and the work we did, but I can say that I will forever be indebted to them for the lesson they taught me." MaH


"Every year our relationship does change -- it evolves and deepens, but it remains rooted in the same foundation of love for Christ and respect for each other that makes these trips such an important and rewarding part of our parish life." AR


"One of the village women told me that her kids kept asking when the Americans were coming back, and it was nice because she could tell her kids that we are coming back and that it was not a one year thing, but an actual building of the relationship." ER


"I enjoyed helping in the bakery, painting, and doing Vacation Bible School.  However, the most important part of the trip was interacting with the other people from the village." LS


"One of my favorite parts was when we got there everyone was so welcoming and they acted as though we had been best friends forever.  That was especially helpful for me because it was my first year going to Mexico . . ."AZ


"We were joined inside by two parishioners-- both older even than I--who worked side by side with us for the entire time.  One was the sexton--a man who had asked the previous year for us to lay hands upon him and pray for him to be strong in a personal battle.  I was heartened and glad to see him, and that was spiritually rewarding." LR



Reflections by Father George

I am beginning to see a recurring theme when a group from St. Mark's visits Nigromante -- it all comes together in surprisingly and in expected ways. "All" means many things -- emotions, relationships, glimpses of the depth of a now four-year partnership -- and also something very tangible.  In the past, we have built a play set and painted the roof of the church among other things. This year, one of our projects was installing ceiling fans in the church.  It wasn't until a few minutes before we had to leave to drive back to Veracruz that the last of the six fans was hooked up and running.  It was a beautiful site to behold -- to see those six sturdy fans spinning in harmony.  It was a project we thought we could do -- and then we weren't so sure.  There were problems with wiring and the concrete ceiling.  Time was running out.  But thanks to some luck, ingenuity, perseverance and no doubt, the work of the Holy Spirit, it was completed.  What will happen next year?  Perhaps you will be there in person to be a part of the surprising, unfolding, amazing and wonderful relationship that exists between St. Mark's and San Marcos.
