Feb 14  Sunday  Valentine's Day  Our 39th wedding anniversary.

   Four of us attended the Catholic worship service next to our dorms.
The sanctuary fill from the back forward, and is packed by 10-15 minutes
into the service, including 2 wandering dogs.  The theme of the service
was medical care and healing.  During the service, I thought what a 
great idea would have been to bless the IHS team next door as we begin
our mission.

   The delayed team members are all still coming.  A group of 3 pharm
students won't get to Honduras until late Monday evening.  So, people
are being shuffled to put these later arrivals on nearby teams, and move
others to teams that absolutely must go on Monday morning.

   Lunch was shish-kabobs of beef and chicken with re-fried beans, rice,
and cantaloupe.

   In the afternoon, John Kirckof, another ham, and I put up a second
antenna for voice nets and e-mail.  With two antennas, we can evaluate them
side by side.   We also installed the radio repeater which uses an antenna
already on the Catholic FM radio tower.

   The final project was helping the team engineer, Grant, to rebuild a
pitcher pump by replacing the leather seal using the upper sole of a leather
shoe!  We have water from that pump again.   

   Tonight, we who are moving on, pack up to be ready to leave early morning.
One team by boat, another by bush plane, and our team by truck.
