Fourteen years ago, Stephen Deal met Francisco Aguilar in Guatemala, where both served with the Augustinian Lutheran Church of Guatemala. Deal, a new volunteer missionary at the time, was mentored by Aguilar. Fourteen years later, Pastor Deal, now an ELCA missionary in Costa Rica represented the ELCA at the ordination of Pastor Aguilar at Resurrection Lutheran Church in San Salvador, El Salvador. What a joyful example of accompaniment and mutual support! –Twila Schock
