Monday

Just a quick update to let you know we are all good! We have a few down with a stomach bug, but they come and go pretty quickly. Today a group of 15 is going to the hospital- they also bagged up all the clothes this morning. I am typing this as we are waiting for the bus to come back from the mountain to pick us up. The others have gone to Union (i found out yesterday that the full name of the mountain means unity and strength- Union y Fuerza- Union for short!! Cary did another amazing job preaching in both Spanish and English. The five year anniversary for this church-beautiful day, lots of emotion from all (even Bob M- if you NW people can believe that :) I will have someone write more details later!!
The other groups today went to the kitchen to feed the kids, dig more ditches!! they say we are digging footers but the digging they are doing is crazy, more houses to finish, start, and floor. The sun is shining bright today- we had a bit of rain on Saturday- everyone came off the mountain wet and dirty! We love and miss you all..

Hello,
This is Beverley. Well, I went to Union today and helped build two houses. It was the most physical work I think I have ever done! It was hot and tiring but very rewarding. You truly have to be here to witness the poverty. It's amazing to me that we have people in this world that actually live like this. The children are absolutely adorable! It would be great to be able to speak the language, but the kids respond to a smile and a hug. It was very moving for me as a rookie here to hear the singing by the Honduran people yesterday at Church. We got hugs and thanks from the people we built the house for. It is an amazing feeling to walk away feeling good about how you spent your day. The drivers over here are NUTS! Worst than European if you can believe that! Except for me of course. Love to everyone!
Beverley.
