Ellen and Karla remind us what some of us had already learned from the media: In the wake of a tropical depression, it’s been raining heavily in much of Guatemala for some time and this past week triggered landslides that have now killed several dozen people and closed in the Inter-American Highway which snakes through Central America, including through western Guatemala (see picture above). President Colom has declared a state of emergency and a day of morning. It’s possible to follow news about the landslides and so on at: www.prensalibre.com. Let us pray for flood survivors, for the physical and spiritual health, and for transformation of this disaster-torn country. We’ll hope to hear this month about the flooding might have affected the folks in eastern Guatemala where our partners live.
