    On Friday, Guatemala's vice president, Roxana Baldetti, resigned because of a customs corruption scandal. The corruption implicated her secretary and made it an investigation. Her resignation was a personal decision and she is the first Guatemalan vice president to step down because of a corruption. The people of Guatemala are happy about her resignation. Perez Molina, the president, will be sending three names to congress to be picked for a new vice president.

  2. In Honduras, they have found many artifacts that contain great craftsmanship in the Mosquitia jungle. These artifacts are about 600 to 1,000 years old. They have found a lost city. Some people believe they should give them to museums so people can see them, and others believe they should be put to study so that we can learn all kinds of stuff about them like when they last saw sunlight, what they were used for, and many more things. Some are also worried people will steal them.

    Christianity is growing rapidly in El Salvador — along with gang violence and murder rates

    in el salvador, a gang grew irritated that the private bus from where Elmer’s older brother worked refused to pay exortation fees. so they all went to the eatery. there are 16 people who had died everyday due to crime and violence. that means 52% of people died each year. But on the other hand, the growth rate of people going to church went up as well. They wish the church rate would go up more than crime rates. People would go to church and pray but they wouldn't change their values and still did crimes.

    Period 7
    He had a foot problem and had to miss a couple of games so he is finally allowed to play.
    Lionel Messi passed a fitness test to play soccer again after a sports injury.
    He has recovered in time to play at the game in Balaidos Stadium.
    Messi is the top scorer so being able to play is awesome for the team.
    A statement from Barcelona says that he is able to stretch and the swelling has gone down "The two Argentinians jogged and stretched on their own. The swelling in Messi's foot has improved and he will try to join in with Barca's other international players on Friday."

    Current event
    5/15/15
    Guatemalan vice president resigned and the people of Guatemala actually celebrated his resigning because of an event that had been reoccurring that hurt Guatemalan government and spending. The Guatemalan government committed tax fraud. The vice president was taking bribes and got caught and lost her job over it. They have proof from recorded phone calls with lawyers and high up officials in the Guatemalan government discussing the bribes. The aftermath of this is the vice president was forced to resign and it may be taken to the Central American Supreme Court.
