Related Items Spirituality Faith Susan Classen's nine years in Bolivia and El Salvador brought intense personal experiences-an appendicitis attack in an isolated Bolivian village, being arrested and caught in cross fire in El Salvador, and challenging relationships.

Classen's personal losses and life in war-torn El Salvador overwhelmed her. While on retreat for several months she remembered the day she saw butterflies dancing near vultures in search of cadavers.
