Viña employee involved in motorcycle crash

A Viña Studios employee has had a serious accident on his motorcycle sometime today while he was traveling on the Pan-American highway to Quetzaltenango for some classes.

His name is Renzo, and he is in the hospital in Totonicapán. I've spoken with two Viña employees about him. Apparently, doctors at the hospital in Totonicapán performed surgery on his skull this afternoon. His parents and some Viña employees have gone to the hospital (about an hour away) to visit him, but doctors wouldn't let anyone in but his father. Depending on his status, they may try to transfer him to a hospital in Guatemala City, a two-hour trip.

Renzo is a really nice guy, well-liked by the staff at Viña. About a month ago, he traveled with me to Nebaj, when I first began my trips around Guatemala, doing research and developing contacts for Viña.

He has a background in radio, and has an excellent radio voice. When he had the opportunity to serve the Lord with his talents, he came to work at Viña sometime in the last year or two. Renzo is single and does not have a family, but lives with his parents down the hill in Panajachel. Please remember him in prayer. Thank you.
