March 24

 What a great day! Our students were ready to get things done! We started the day with an introduction to the students of Santa Theresa school as they welcomed us. We then loaded and up the mountain we went. We spent the day framing interiors and siding both interior and exterior walls. The rafters have started going up and windows are being cut. We had fairly nice weather, it did get quite warm but then the clouds rolled in. We took lots of water breaks to stay cool. We are very happy with our progress! Students are in bed now after enjoying a delicious meal of fried chicken and mashed potatoes with fresh fruits and vegetables. Stay tuned for another post with messages from your missioners!

Hi family it is Joci. I have adopted a dog and will send pictures that you should show to Apache and Mimi to show them how large they're living. I miss you guys, but I'm having fun. Love you, give hugs to the dogs and cats for me. 

Hello to the Koenck family, it is Brady and I am still alive and doing well. Mom and Dad I hope you guys are having a lot of fun doing whatever you guys are doing wherever you are. Grandma Grandpa hope you guys are getting your good nights rest not worrying about me too much because we are doing perfectly fine over here. Ralph and Kali, I am missing Brantlee especially on Wednesdays when y'all are at bowling. Cody and Kayla, I may have gotten Jaimie another stuffed animal and that will be a surprise for when I get back. Will see you all, more than likely on Friday, love you.

What's up McCarty family it's Cole. I miss all of you guys very much, but am enjoying my time in Honduras very much. I've had a few ups and downs health wise but haven't had to miss out on much and am feeling good. I've been doing well hammering and also discovered that I'm almost as good with my left hand as my right, which I call "Hammerdextrous". Mom I hope you are enjoying a quiet house where you can cook whatever you want and not have to watch sports all the time. I love you all, Cole
