BELIEF

Yolanda Prado was born July 24 1957. She is 51 years old. She is a mother of three children and is married woman. Yolanda loves to cook and spend time with her family. She was born in Ecuador and moved into the United State. She was very close to her mother.

It was a nice warm night. The television is on channel forty-one. Yolanda is laying on her queen size bed. As I walk to Yolanda I drop my interview question on the ground. I sit on a chair next to her and start to ask her question.

I ask, “What are you a Catholic or a Christian?”

A quick answer “I am a Catholic”

She looks shock “It took a little bit of half a minute for her to answer the question”. I believe in Jesus because he died, suffer for us. She stops and continues to answer my question again “He died to save us for our sins”. The room got colder

“I followed my mom foot step. Pause “She taught me about Jesus and what happen to him.” “Mostly every night she was to teach me about Jesus. I wouldn’t think she would lie to me about something like that”.

“What did you see in your head when your mother taught you the life of Jesus?” I ask

She thinking very hard with a face like she day dreaming “I saw Jesus getting hit. I saw blood, mother Mary crying, and Jesus suffering. Pause. “Also I saw a little bit of my future” “I stop for a moment because that last line that she said go to me” “I asked her another question” “I felt sad and mad when my mom told me this. I felt sad because the way Jesus and Mary didn’t do anything back to the people that was hurting him. And how them Jesus, and Mary was suffering. I felt mad because the people who were hitting him didn’t stop and didn’t give him a chance to prove himself who he really is.

“If I was to see Jesus face to face I would be happy,” She said with a happy voice. I wouldn’t want to wake up. I would be in shock. I will probably thanks him for being her and ask why are you here.” She looks to the left side of her room. Where a cross with Jesus is on it. Yolanda looks at it for about a minute I look at her and the cross back and forth. Her face was a face of prayers. Yolanda stops and tells me lets continue this interview tomorrow. I said “Okay” I walk to her and gave her a kiss on the ford head and said “Good night” then left the room. From what I seen jus now “I think she was thinking about what happen to Jesus one thousand seventy two years ago. I also think “Jesus was calling her to go to sleep and to speak to her in her dream or something. “I really think Yolanda believing is very important to her.
