Volcanic Eruption to Tropical Storm

This last week has been trying for Guatemala. If you haven't heard, last Thursday the peacefully active volcano, Volcan de Pacaya, had its biggesst eruption in at least 14 years and it devastated some nearby communities as well as covered part of the country in ash. And yes, it's the same volcano that we hike up the weekend before. Then even worse, tropical storm "Agatha" hit the next day and it has caused some deaths and much destruction. Many people have lost their homes to flooding and mudslides.

Please keep Guatemala in your prayers. Pray that no more damage will occur from the storm and that God will provide for the people that have lost their homes.
