I am Guatemalan and have permission to leave Costa Rica, my country of residence, without my parents, even though I am a minor. A couple of days ago, I went to Guatemala to attend a Central American convention of youth clubs. Everything went well on the way there. But on the way back, I was asked for a document signed by my parents to leave Guatemala without them.
I said I didn't have that permission because I live in Costa Rica. They took my cell phone with a photo of my Costa Rican ID and my passport. Twenty minutes passed and they didn't come back. Together with the person in charge of our group, we began to pray using Pedro’s prayercard. After five minutes the lady returned with my passport and my cell phone. She said that just this once they would let me leave the country without that permission, though it was something that should not be done.
That's when I understood that what happened was a miracle. Without Pedro's help, I would have had to stay in Guatemala and would not have been able to travel with the rest of the group back to Costa Rica. I am sure that Pedro interceded for me from heaven. It should also be noted that throughout the trip, we entrusted ourselves to Pedro, and thanks to that, we enjoyed it a lot.
