Excerpt from the blog of Elder Dave Mays:
....Then the next day we got hit with a big storm, supposedly part of a hurricane or something. Another one was supposed to hit us today at 5, but I think it hit El Salvador instead. But so we started with this Volcano, and then it rained for over 24 hours straight and the president declared it a natural disaster and all church meetings in Guatemala were canceled on Sunday. On Sunday, it had stopped raining, so we started to clean up our own sand and then our ward mission leader got us all together and we went to several different houses to clean up sand for them. Everyone has flat roofs so we got up and swept it all up and then lowered it down to the ground.
The night of the rain though we were on our way back from buying groceries and there were mudslides and rockslides on the roads and everything still had the sand everywhere. Then later that night, Elders Vasquez and Guzmán came in and said a house fell down! What happened was a real sinkhole opened up down the street from us and swallowed a house and there’s a hole the size of a large intersection!!
