10:00p.m. Emergency Call in Guatemala.

It is pouring rain here in Panajachel, absolutely pouring!

We were all sitting around after having a wonderful farewell dinner for the folks from Mayan Families Canada, Robyn, Leigh, Tyler and Sofia.

Sharon's cell phone rang, it was one of our people telling Sharon that the road up to Solola was blocked by a landslide.
Then we received another call from Oscar, our driver, who is in the Mayan Families old Toyota 4x4 Pickup and is stuck behind a different landslide blocking the only other road out of town, the one going up to San Andres.
He called because he can not move the truck and Glendy who works for us was so scared from the landslide that she fainted and passed out. We called the Bomberos, the first responders. Dwight went up with Julio to check out the situation. It is late, pouring rain and as Dwight went up he took with him our donated wind up flashlights for light that got passed out at the scene. When he got there Glendy was being carried to the Ambulance on a stretcher. They couldn't get the folding legs of the stretcher to actually fold, so they tried three times until they worked.
The Bomberos Ambulance went off down the hill back to Panajachel's Centro Salud, the towns medical clinic, which Mayan Families helps out with Medicines and other assistance.

Dwight got into our 20 year old trusty Toyota 4x4, locked the hubs, put it in 4 wheel drive low range, and drove through the mud pit area where the road has almost washed away going up to San Andres. He parked the truck behind two Giant Caterpillar Tractors that were blocking the road on the other side, to prevent others from driving on the bad section and came back to Panajachel with Julio and Oscar. It is now raining even harder and we are awaiting sunrise and hope the road is able to be cleared.

Glendy went to the Centro Salud and was released in good shape. She is now resting at home.
We will keep you all informed as the sun rises tomorrow morning on what happens next!
