Day 3

We are back from the mountain, more houses started, stairs finished. The medical clinic handed out tons of vitamins and saw 153 people. Same setbacks on the mountain, chainsaws that stop working, worksites that are impossible to get to, supplies not always available- but none of that matters when the day is done. We come back to our base on the mountain and then the kids still have energy to play soccer with the little ones. Then onto Baxter to another delicious meal. Hotel people shower (i´m waiting my turn) and back to Baxter for a devo.

Tomorrow will be more houses being built and the duffels sorted, and many pounds of food sorted and bagged.

Northwest News- Heather Stewart got a fat lip today digging a hole post- but she is just fine!! No worries beverley we took good care of her. Gary Marrs had a slight mishap with the chainsaw- but it wasn´t turned on- scraped knee, little bit of blood.They both continued working the rest of the day. hard!!!Laura Beth, Chris and Alex continue to amaze us with their hard work on their first trip here.

The adults are great- trying to keep up with the energy level of the teens- no easy feat- and doing a great job at it.
I can´t name everyone but trust me when i say that we are all doing well, no one is sick yet, and we are glorifying God in all we do.

Special hello to Sean, Michaela, Zachary and Robert- Dad shared your cards with me and they were so sweet. Thank you Sean for thinking of me and Mr. Keith.

Just wanted you all to know that we made it safely. I can´t believe how much we did the first day. Tonia, David, Ashley, CJ and I were on the same team building a house. It is so amazing to watch the Honduran children so eager to help. Ashley is so wonderful with the children and David and CJ were working so hard- and still took moments to play with the little ones hanging around. Sometimes we had to force David and CJ to stop for a drink- Casey was the same on his site. Tonia is getting great pictures as usual, ok time to go back to work. I love you all! Tami

mom, dad and irene,
Everything is fine. Made it through another hard day, but rewarding nonetheless. My appetite has finally decreased. I guess it is because i eat breakfast now. I built my first house today, well finished it. I even got on the roof to help with the mammering. By the end of the trip i will be a pro. I love you all and miss you all a lot.
