Today is the start of the school year in Guatemala. Yuliza’s students arrived for the first time, and Elias headed back to his high school for his final year.

The elections in the United States are starting to heat up, but here in Guatemala they’re finishing. Guatemala’s new president, Otto Perez Molina, was sworn into the office over the weekend. Concerns about the increase in violence in the country due to the drug trade ruled the elections, easily overshadowing the problems with poverty, the economy and education. So Otto, a retired general, won easily.

Please pray for Guatemala. The only true solution to the problems in Guatemala is God, so please ask Him to bring peace to our country!
