Following is an update on the congregations of the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG), our companion synod in Guatemala, from the Rev. Karen Castillo, ILAG President.  Your prayers for our brothers and sisters in Guatemala are appreciated.



Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As you may have heard the news of Guatemala, with rain and storms is getting bad.  I want to share with you that I have communicated with the leaders in     ILAG´s communities, and I got the report as follows:
 
Nueva Guatemala, fields floded -- Pr. Salvador
Zaculeu -- no rain  -- Santos Chaman
Maya Itza - no rain -- Mario Cac
Santa Amelia --  rain daily -- Ana
La Esmeralda -- rain daily --- Julio
Playita -- no rain -- Luciano
Nuevo Porvenir -- no rain all is good -- Pr. Raul
Israel -- no communication yet
Cimiento --- lots of rain -- no bad news at the moment  -- Victoriano
Aurora -- no rain -- Felix, Pantaleon, Marcos, Sebastian
Santa Elena -- no rain -- Santos 
 
In general, at this moment we have two communities affected, but we will keep you posted regarding the other communities.  
 
Guatemala city is flooded, roads are in bad shape in the city.  El Mirador is okay, and El Tuerto too.
 
We can't tell about the roads to Coban and Peten, but I will start a trip tomorrow to visit Aurora, and we will check on the status on the field.  
 
We will keep you posted, if we get more news.  We appreciate the concern and prayers are welcome.
 
Peace,
Karen
