Come ride with us...

In 2010 Guatemala has received a record amount of rainfall.  Many times we have mentioned the damages to the roads from the rain and often show photos for you to better understand how to pray for us as we travel. 

Central American highway 1 is the major corridor from Mexico to Panama.  It enters Guatemala in the northwest and passes through Chimaltenango to Guatemala City and then heads south to El Salvador. Some of it is four lane and provides wonderful passing lanes.  We travel it often and are very thankful for it.  However, it is also very dangerous, due to many landsides causing the roads to be covered in mud, dirt, and/or huge rocks.

For several days this week, we traveled on CA1 in the west.  Yesterday, as we were returning home, I took this video of some of our travels again to say how thankful we are for your prayers and God's covering of protection.  Sorry it is not the best video but it will give you an idea of the road and dangers. We never take it for granted!
