Off to our last village, El Vallecito. High in the hills of Honduras. There were 58 families in the community. The community leaders said they were so thankful we had come because other people had promised to come and help but never showed up. We were glad we came.
The construction crew completed their last six houses, setting new records this trip - 188 bags of cement - that's 37 yards of concrete or 4 truck loads of ready mix concrete. Any way you look at it, that's a lot of concrete and a lot of hard work!!
We came home to a special meal with the Honduran MAMA staff. Without their prep work and support we couldn't have accomplished what they did. They were great.
Some stats for the week:
1) The medical team saw 920 villagers.
2) The dentist pulled 322 teeth. OUCH!
3) We gave out 156 reading glasses.
4) We found 147 villagers were anemic and treated them.
5) We had a life changing experience, reaching out to others and serving them in the Name of Jesus.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Our team is dispersing. Mark Rush left today. Nancy Rice and Kelly Mead will head home tomorrow while the rest of the group heads to Copan for some much needed R&R.
Until we stand on American soil,
