Simplemente no hay palabras para expresar la tristeza que sentimos para las familias afectadas y para la familia de Colegio Juan Wesley. Sus hermanos y hermanas en los E.E.U.U. y Canadá están orando que la voluntad de nuestro Dios poderoso sea manifestado en esta época de tanto dolor.
Last evening the student body was sent home after closing prayers. Moments later just after 6pm three students from the Juan Wesley School were tragically killed as they walked home along the Pan American highway. They were struck by a semi trailer truck that lost control. It sped through the busy Cuatro Caminos intersection striking cars, utility poles and several students before finally coming to a stop by the bridge not far from the present day school. All of the students were part of the afternoon Jr. High (basico). Two of the student were brothers.
Oh God we do not understand. Why?
Last week the local church came out to the construction site for a work day. Here is the status: The building is almost enclosed and work is underway to landscape and finish many interior appointments. The first and second floors have windows and glass. The interior doors have been hung and have locks; the plastering is almost complete on the second floor. Thanks to the Rolling Plains group for their hard work helping with some of the above and hanging the gutters.
The work continues in a race against time to open for January 09 classes.
The Rolling Plains church from Ohio has arrived with 10 helpers. They are working on putting in the second floor window glass and many other jobs. Thanks for returning on trip number three!

This month a small group from Front Range Christian High in Colorado will visit Juan Wesley. This is part of the FRCS practicum week. The team will work teaching English and building crafts, volley ball training and generally sharing during chapels. Some time will be dedicated to working on the new school building. We look forward to their arrival.
Thank you Toronto High School.
You finished a great tour and accomplished a great deal of work. The students of Juan Wesley have many new friends and are grateful for your visit and the work accomplished on their new school building. Muchas gracias. We understand that there were unexpected finds during your digging jobs and that you are now all expert Mayan archeologists. More Pictures
Eleven strong you made a contribution to Colegio Juan Wesley. Your timely arrival with just the right skills confirmed in our minds that this is a God project. He has provided the right help at the right time. We were ready to lay a floor but suddenly realized that the plumbing was far more complicated than we realized. Your expertise in redesigning both the supply and waste water system will make the plumbing efficient and workable! Thank you too for putting in the last two inner classroom walls on the third floor.
