Bryan Enslein  Sorry everyone too busy playing with kids and digging holes to write a good message. If I don't come home send chocolate, clean towels and hot water. Since Nova lost my motivation for coming back is dying and the food here is getting pretty good. Thanks for all the messages and I'll let you all know when I get back,

          Love,      Bryan

Carlos Molina Hutt  Disfrutando al máximo de lo poquito que queda!

Besos y abrazos para todos!

Nicole Needle Today we were finished centering all the rebar cages in the leveled holes, which took some time. Pretty much everyone worked on their sunburns during the day. The boys still had a full day, but they came to visit us after classes and worked on their dance moves. Tonight, we played the older Honduran boys and teachers and finally USA is numero uno even though they are amazing at futbol. Tomorrow is the last day and I cannot believe the week is almost over. <3 Nicole P.S. Cristian es mi novio y es muy guapo. Be jealous.
Lea Pineda Today was a productive day.  We finished filling all the holes with rebar and tomorrow we are ready to pour.  We played soccer tonight and we beat the Hondurans.  I finally got some color so be jealous. The last day is tomorrow and I am really sad.  This trip has been amazing and an awesome experience.  I can't wait to see everyone and tell  you all about it.

I love you and miss you.....Lea

Lindsay Rehl Hey everyone - I can't believe it is Thursday already.  This week has gone by so fast. I don't think that if I were to tell you everything detail for detail, it wouldnt compare to this beautiful experience.  We are getting everything finished up.  I heard that it snowed the other day, so please stay warm.  Can't wait to see you all when I get back. 

Lindsay   - BIG HUG-

Annie Schweihs  All of the holes are completed with rebar in them and ready for concrete...it wasn't the easiest process, but we got it done.  I can't believe the week is almost over.  Can't wait to talk to everyone and tell them about this amazing trip.

Love, Annie

Jon Collins Well, lets see.... the holes are finally complete after a meticulous inspection, and the steel rebar have been constructed for each hole, so yes finally it is time to pour the concrete tomorrow. today was an awesome day, we got alot of work done and had an intense soccer game against the older kids and adults. we ended up winning by surprise, i think the final score was something like 7-5. i cant believe there is only 1 full day remaining, very sad. Hope all is well at home, im really anticipating coming back in a few weeks for easter! and thank you grandparents for following our progress and praying for me. I love you all!

Kaitlyn- I hope that school/fencing has been going well this week, i'll look forward to hearing how you did at your tournament in boston. ill be sure to call you sunday so we can catch up!

Zach Harris Hey guys! Thanks so much for the messages, especially you Blake (first time message poster), they really mean a lot and it is so good to hear from the people that I care about the most.  We had another solid day today.  We got everything set up in the foundations to pour concrete in the morning.  To do that we had to fill the holes with four inches of sand.  Wheelbarrow runs of sand are not so fun after about 20 of them! Mom, I am so sorry to hear about Nancy.  Tell Carrie that I am praying for her and her mom. Dad, how is work going?  Oh and tell Granny that I said hello and I lover her very much. Blake, I hope you had a great time at the concert.  Did you go with Billy? Steph, thanks for the tabloid update...haha. Keep trucking along this week.  It's almost over! I will be looking forward to talking with you when I get back.  Love you and miss you!  Viva Honduras!

Katie Hearn Aahhh! So much love from everyone! Denky thanks so much for the post!! You and Marn will have a blast even without me I'm sure. Just remember what Mary and Trish say...you two together spells trouble. Mom, sorry again for the nasty-gram, and Dad your weather updates are really allowing us all to soak up the sun here. I actually got a little color today! sweet farmers tan, and also I am covered in bruises and I'm not sure where they came from. I like it though. We finished the framework and steel reinforcements today and everything is ready for pouring. We'll be mixing the concrete by hand and we hope to be done before lunch so that we can have some quality hang time before we leave. We watched the sun set over the mountains today, which is also the Guatemalan boarder, from on top of the hill. And tonight the sky was so clear and there were so, so many stars. Although everything here is so amazing I am really missing all of you and can't wait to get a good hug from everyone! I'll bring some back from the kids too, they give really great ones.

Loooovvvvve, Kate

P.S. we played MASH tonight and my future holds a marriage to Carlos with 25 kids, homeless in El Paso with a horse and a smart car. Oh and Carlos' career is a meter maid. So be excited to come over for dinner.

Allison Trinkle Hey!  We thought we'd be able to mix and pour the concrete today, but with a few setbacks, it didn't happen.  We have all of the rebar and everything in place, so the concrete will be poured tomorrow to finish our construction.  Mom, I promise I have been doing work regardless of the pictures you have seen and Dad, I've been trying to speak Spanish as much as possible, but I am still pretty rusty.  The kids are patient and pretty easy to converse with so it makes it all much easier. This week is just flying by.  I can't wait to come home and tell both of you more about everything in person! 
Matthew Costantino if there is anyone out there that cares about me...this place and experience has been and will continue to be unexplainably surreal. i hope the United States is that sweet.

Dr. David Dinehart Parents - You should all be extremely proud of your children.  They have placed their hearts and souls into working, playing, and reflecting on this experience.  To a person they all attribute their successes to their families.  Thank you from Villanova for giving us the opportunity to teach them.  Still haven't made been able to teach here yet, maybe tomorrow.  I did manage to score in futbol AGAIN! It was a little different crew than I see on my Thursday night hoops game. I also got to ride a bike into town (1st time since high school). Matt, sorry to hear you had to go to school while Abby got to stay home, but it will all even out.  She'll probably got extra homework to do over the weekend. Abby, it was in the 80's today! Ice cream ... I wasn't sure if an OREO ice cream sandwich was ice cream.  I'll check, maybe they don't have lent here?!?! Dennis, no snoopin' and keep your father out of trouble.  Matt and I will see next weekend unless you're getting too much snow.  We can watch Villanova's NCAA game together.  Godma, wish Jill luck on her Habitat trip for me.  DD
Dr. Shawn Gross I'm sleeping. (At least I was on Thursday night.  It is now Friday morning.)  I got to go into town with Jeff, DD, and Carlos today to update the web site...but this time we had to take bicycles.  Another great new experience.  I sat out the soccer game (the team didn't need the 13th best player this time) but I'm happy to say I "coached" the team to a victory.  Thanks to all who have written messages.  They mean a lot to me and to the group.  Please keep Amigos in your hearts and prayers.  Jen and my buddy Nicholas....see you very soon!  Love you both!
Maria I got to make tortillas today!  I also got to meet a lot more boys and girls.  I watched them have gym class. Kurochis, thanks for praying for us, I can smell the pot roast now.  We charge $.25 per smiley face Gracie, so I hope you've saved your money.
