Hello everyone,
Here is a note I received from Manno last night:


How is everything with you? Here we continue to be doing well by the grace of God. Since the earthquake things are getting more and more difficult. Many people are still suffring for even the smallest things both at home where they are and in the hospitals.

But the biggest problem we are having now is how to sort out the people who are really in need from the ones who are not refugees. Since they realize that we are giving some assistance to the people that got hurt in the earthquake, several people come to my home or at Pillatre to ask for food, money or anything that we can give them for some of their relatives. I tell you the truth, I don't really know who to trust! Anyway, I am doing my best.

We are now kind of low on cash but I think that I can finish this week without any problem.

Two and half weeks ago I took my truck to Santiago and I told them about the problems that I have with it. They call me last Wednesday and ask me to come to sign the contract. When I arrived there they told me that the truck has two problems and I should give thanks to the Lord that I did not make a terrible accident because the steering-shaft broke at the base.

The second problem is the engine. They have to rebuild it because they see some very black things coming from it. That's the reason why it cannot start or run well. It will take one month for them to fix it. I had no choice but to say go ahead and start working on it. l

Please, pass that on to the rest of the board for me and keep me in your prayers because now I only have the old Montero and it doesn't run well either.

Blessings Manno
