Pic 1: God answers another prayer and uses a dude with a Texas t-shirt! The food and medical supplies from the Austin church and medical community arrived tonight!

Pic 2: This is their industry of food trying to re-start...unfortunately, the smell is pretty rough.
Pic 3: One of the saddest images is this mass burial site about 3 miles from Mission of Hope...80,000 bodies. 24 hours a day operation.
Pic 4: Dr. Scott Smith following up on one of his patients with a dual pelvic fracture and dislocation over SI joint.
