No school due to the rains and mudslides

This morning our Juan, another Juan from Paxot II and I went to Sepela to do a school program. We talked yesterday about school being cancelled today due to the rains but did not know for sure.

We all gathered at clinic this morning for a time of prayer. We are excited that Martina completed her classes and will continue to the next grade. Maury will have to wait a few more weeks and then she will know. My thought is that she also will do well on her exams.

We prayed for people who have loss their homes for family members due to the rains. It is very sad. The rains slowed through the night and this morning but have started again this evening

When we arrived at the school, there were no students but a few of the teachers were meeting. We rescheduled the hygiene class in hopes that the weather will improve. They had to cancel classes today because everyone is afraid that the hill behind the school will fall in. You can see the area of concern in the photo below, which was a previous mud slide.

Tomorrow, we will try another school and hope for the best. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Many areas are damaged, there has been loss of life, bridges have been washed away and if it continues the corn crops will suffer again.
