Today we left the camp for the first time. It was good to leave the camp, but not good to see what was happening outside of camp. The loyalists slaughtered and killed a village, and the only survivors were a young girl and her 2 day old brother. They are being taken to the American mission to be taken care of. It was the first time I actually was part of a battle, and it was horrible. Blood drenched the jungle, and bodies paved the ground. It was the worst thing I'd ever seen. This place was a peaceful place until the loyalists destroyed it, and these people weren't even soldiers. I wonder what they'd do if they got their hands on me... Today made me realize how lucky I was when I worked at the banana plantations, and I would go back to that at any cost if I was able. This also made me wonder what is happening to Concepcion, mother, and the rest of my family. I hope they are alright, and I realized today that the loyalist could do the same thing to them that they did to the innocent people of the village today!
