Yesterday rain came in early afternoon, knocking out the internet service all night.
We have completed 15 houses and are doing great. No stomach problems yet! Today we are going to church service in Union and then lunch, Valley of Angels, and Santa Lucia- a very old church where we like to go and sing.
Hoping to have more time tonight to publish the blog notes from the kids.
We miss you all!!!

Hello Jonathon.
Mamaw is here and sends her love. She wishes she was here when you called so she could talk to you. She is still sick with a cold, but feeling a little better. She says Missouri was great and has stories to tell you when you get home. Your cousins missed you and Aaron and want you to come next time. We have had rain all morning here. Not much going on here. We miss you and continue to pray for success and blessings on your trip. 15 houses!!! That's awesome. Go God as Dave would say.
Love and kisses and we miss you.
Mom, Dad, Aaron and the Spotted Demon
Hi Guys, hope that you enjoyed your lunch and singing today. There was a huge hole at Northwest! Eddie had a good lesson though. It's raining here today, looks like you have all had your share. Yeh, Heather and Chris i've been watching the tropics! I hope that you are both doing well! exhausted i'm sure. Dad and I love and miss you both so much! I can't wait to give you a big hug! I don't care who's looking either Chris. Well, I know that God is smiling at each and everyone of you right now telling you well done my faithful servants! Bye for now and God Bless! Love Mum (Beverley)
Hi Sam, Sammi and Johnny,
You're almost at the half way mark! We really miss you here. I know you will really appreciate being home when you get back. I know Sam is right when he says this is the greatest country in the world. Jimmy and I were at the Conley home yesterday, playing with Keagan and visiting with Neva, Caleb, Jenni and Jamie and I ask if anyone else ever wonders "Why was I so blessed to be born in this country and have so much? Why me?" I don't pretend to know the answer, but I am sooo grateful. Keagan was really funny yesterday. He made us all laugh at his funny antics. We have a sign up list for the 4th of July and are looking forward to hearing all the good works that you 3 have accomplished. Remember you are all in our prayers and we love you all so much.
Hey guys!
Sorry I didnt write you yesterday, but I was working mostly all day and I couldnt get to a computer, but I am here now to tell you guys that I miss you all and I love you all...Is so sad to hear about the hospital and the burned victims, but is so good to hear how giving and caring everyone is toward the kids...I would have love to have been there to see Ryan and Alex praying with the kids, just hearing about it brings tears to my eyes...I am so happy the medical team is doing so well and I am impressed with the profesional house builders we have in our church, wow you even do floors...thats really awesome...I am proud of you guys keep up the good job!!!
To my family:

From Abuela: I love you all, I miss u all and I picked up the mail.
From Tia maria: I love you guys and I am very proud of you and I am going crazy with the football games.
From Me: I love you guys and I miss you so much I wrote tio Gabriel an email for all of you but it didnt work, it basically say that I love you all and that I am very proud of everyone of you. Michael told me that you were all ok, that you were working hard and that none of you had gotten sick which is good to hear...I cant wait till you guys get home, church was weird with out you, it was really empty with out the rest of the Garcias...Angela, Michael says you really miss me, thats good to hear cause I miss you too...Heather I wrote you an email but I dont think you got it anyways the main point was Carpe Diem seize the day and dont forget to take control! BTW: Matts class was awesome today!!! I love you sweetie!!! Nicole, Heidi, I miss you both so much...Stay safe guys...Love you
To Ash and Ana: thank you soooo much for your email it made my day, you guys are so sweet and I miss you all a lot, Ash I gave my brother your message and he says he misses you too...Continue to work hard...Love you both
Michael: Hey sweetheart I can begin to tell you just how good it was to hear your voice, it made me feel so good knowing that you are doing so much and working so hard, I am very proud of you!!! I definetely know how hard your job is now, that catering party was hard, my feet were killing me at the end of the night, but I had so much fun working for with Steph, Richard and my brother, I personally think we are the best servers in the world...Oh I got the covers for my room and now I have an idea of what colors I am going to use, but I am waiting till you get back so you can help me paint lol!!! I love you and I am counting the days till you get back, Stay safe...Love you

glad you both are safe and are having a great time! miss you and love you so much! mom made it to PA safely and is having a great time with colette. we spent a lot of time at nana's pool this week and "Chuchi" keeps looking for you both. bella jumped in the pool and swam to the wall all by herself! yay!! dad, i heard you made it to the injured list! be careful out there! mikey, bella found an old, opened capri-sun drink in your room and drank it for you. she said "uncle mikey says i could have it!" Yuck!
well, love you much,
the ginocchetti crew
Mikey and Gary:
Howdy from rainy Tampa. Sounds like you guys are doing well down there. Dad, please try to avoid another chain saw incident...we want you back in one piece. :) Mikey, make sure to bring back lots of stories...especially funny ones about dad! Love you both...
Todd
Good evening TYM Hondurans! Just got off the phone with Tracey & Dave, who wanted to know if I'd talked to Dad yet and how bad was the "chainsaw" accident? Must say, that one caught me off guard! Gary, hope that you still have one good leg left, and don't forget about your two arms (you still have those don't you?). So glad that Dr. Wayne is there to patch you up. And to hear such glad tidings about all the wonderful things that are happening with our children and adults in Honduras. I'm sure you know that we are all so proud of you and the Christian spirit you are sharing with all. Mikey, watch out for Dad...I think he's been hanging around John Marincin and thinks he's a teenager too! Much love to all, and especially to my own dear family. God bless and keep you safe. Gary, email me at my hotmail account, I can pick it up here in Pennsylvania. Love, Mel

Gabe, Angela, Heather, Heidi, and Nicole,
We miss you guys like crazy! Thanks for thinking of us. Dont worry, we're keeping a close eye on your van for you (wink wink). Build a house for us. Give every single kid there a hug and kiss for us. That itself will keep you busy all week. Side note to David, the team lost the 2nd game, but they lost it in the last 2 minutes. So basically we dont need you says george and richard. Anyways, we love you guys so much and have a super rest of the trip! Love your, son and daughter, or brother and sister, depending on who is reading this at the time.
Heather & Chris Stewart,
I am so incredibly proud of both of you. Mom and I read the blog each day and are in awe of all the things the group accomplishes and the lives you touch. I know you're both having a great time and your days are packed doing God's wondrous work. I love you both very much.

Caitlin,
Sounds like you are having an amazing time. Sure wish I was there...sigh.
Anyways, just wanted to say- "we got...fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp kabobs, shrimp on a stick, you can bake it, broil it, fry it, dip it in butter...:)
Oh! and by the way...remember your favorite quote from that tv show we watched in the keys.."_________________________" Oh man, I love that quote!
Miss you and love you!
-Kristen
(by the way..your closet has been good to me..you've got some great clothes ;) )
Caitlin,
How are you doing? We hope you're having a great time, but a safe time as well. From what we read on the blog, it sounds as if this has really been a good trip this year for all of you. We had church this morning as usual, then went to Chevy's for lunch. Tonight there were no services, but instead there was the teacher's appreciation dinner in Jackson Hall (catered by Olive Garden). Mark Smith provided some live music, and along with his son, Ryan, some light comedy. Awards were handed out to all the teachers who were able to make it to the dinner tonight. It was nice. Kristen came but she had duty watching alot of kids while their parents got to enjoy the dinner. She said she had fun doing it. Tomorrow it's back to the usual routine for all of us. We hope your day will be good and successful, and God will bless all you do for the people in Honduras. We really miss you, and so does Marshmallow (alias- El Diablo). By the way, today he got his dose of flea medicine, but didn't say thank you when we were done. Mommy says to tell you hello and that she loves you. We hope to read more from you soon.
We love you,
Mommy, Daddy, and Kristen
Hi Tonia and Tami and the rest of the gang ... So good to read the blog everyday. Mark called me today and said he didn't know what to do because I hadn't called him yet today! LOL he's getting used to my daily calls. He wants me to come see his apt. so I'm going on Thurs. I had Alexa today for a few hours ...CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!!! We're having her party in my park on the 4th at 5pm with a water slide. It will be great to all be together!! Well, I'm busy with Mommy Central - tell you about it when you get home. I love you and be safe. I'm counting the days till you all come home. Love, Mom xoxoxoxoxo and have I told you lately how proud I am of all of you?
Brandon,
Hope everything is going well for you in China! Why are we not surprised you would do the bungy jump! You make sure you don't go visiting any zoos where they have birds (-: just kidding. You take care of yourself and we will all give you big hugs when you get back state side. Next to Tom you are my favorite dancing partner.
God Bless! Beverley.
Chris, England is through to the quarter final in the world cup. Yeh! Wimbledon started today also, so you will have that to look forward to when you come home.
Unfortunately, there were no games today because of rain. Surprise! Surprise! Well, keep up the great work! Love to Heather! XX Kiss Kiss. Missing you!
