a small village at the bottom of a narrow, very steep valley. hurricane stan wiped out their crops (corn) and some homes and last year a team went there and built 7 houses. there are very few patches of grass, it's mostly dry, dusty, gravel. a few days before we arrived the church that we connected with there had delivered 35,000 pounds of food.
they speak quiche but now the children are learning spanish in school. the men and some of the older children speak spanish.
we showed the Jesus film in spanish and afterwards the pastor talked to the people and someone translated everything into quiche. about 20 people asked to receive Jesus. very cool.
the government says they are in danger, that their valley is no longer stable so they are hoping to buy land to transport them to a safer location.
