Sept. 29 e-mail (rough English translation)

The flooding in the Polochic valley has destroyed a lot of the crops, and this is where folks in Izabal get their seed, and now that seed is very expensive. The farmland in some of Izabal is no good for planting. The church in El Chupon (pastored by Pastor Tomo) was destroyed again, and the congregation is meeting in a house. Building plans for several other churches have ground to a halt because people don't have any money.
