Day 5 Late Night

Our construction teams and clinic had a busy day at Union (always a special place to go). Union has the church building that the men from Northwest built a few years ago and some very special bonds have been formed with families there. We truly feel like we are seeing family we have not seen in a year, it is always a great reunion. Five houses were started and near completion, they are taking a bit longer this year, since we are now putting floors in the houses, they look so nice, and people are no longer living with dirt floors. The clinic saw 165 people, gave out a lot of medications and helped people that do not get to see a doctor at all.
Tonight was a night out to the mall, always a favorite activity.
This has been a truly amazing week, we are tired but very excited to be here. This is the most wonderful group of young people, they work hard, they have amazing attitudes and you can see Jesus living in them every day. Parents you have done an amazing job.
Thanks for all of your support and prayers.
Cindy

Note from Dad & Ryan
Dear Jana, Lan, Chase, Cassie, Stephen & Church Family,
What a great experience! We made it safe and hit the ground running, started steps and houses in some village, can´t remember the name. Thursday, tomorrow is Union, will help build ten houses there and fence around the church. All are healthy.
Robin & Cathy - Chris says "Hi and he loves you" Me and Ryan are working hard and playing hard. Lots of futbol with the Honduran kids.
Will love you and will write more on Friday.
Love Dad & Ryan

To the West Orange Church,
Wat up Bris!!! This is Andy just writing to give everyone a report on how things are going. To the Pruitts, Christopher is fine, I am keeping him in line and not letting him do anything stupid. Today we went to the hospital and for most of us, it was very emotional. We gathered with some of the children and sang to them, prayed with them and read the Bible with them. We had two baptisms already. NACHO when we got to the airport Mari Catherine Hagan was caught trying to smuggle a hammer on the plane in her carry on bag and her excuse was "I wasn´t going to use it". Ian was left on the mountain but was later recovered adn was brought back. That night his roommates foudn him asleep on his matress outside the door of their room and still no one knows why. We have done a clinic that was very successful, we have built 8 houses, we ran from a stamped of bulls that escaped from Spain. Cary fell from a mountain and was hanging from a tree and was later rescued by Jonathan Taylor. Becca Clifton and Laren Bucher almost chained sawed there legs off. We have defeated the Hondrans 4-1 in Futbol. Cory is still the human dictionary, but other than that we are fine. Hola Julio.
Bye for now, Andy Hadley

Had a great day. Yesterday I worked and we built someone a house from start to finish, our group. There are five groups so five houses were built, there was no medical clinic yesterday. The doctors asked me to go with them again, so I was with the medical team today. We saw about 165 patients in about 5 1/2 hours, met a lot of people. Tell you later. Tell Laverne not worry about voice mail, most people know I am gone. About all he will hear is faz beeps and teleamarketers. When I get a private internet connection, I will send instructions on how to send a voice mail to your email address. Send an email to mine. When I check it I will respond. Give everyone my love, Dad
