Dear Friends and Family,
We left Tronquera yesterday for our visit to the States over Christmas. I just wanted to give you a quick update on the hurricane Felix food distribution program, and the runway.

Hurricane Felix Food Distribution
We received food aid for the hurricane from the Goldendale Seventh-day Adventist church in Washington. With that, we purchased food for two villages, and fed around 400 people for just over a week. The people were very grateful to their Adventist brothers and sisters in America. Everyone in each village turned out to receive their portion.

January through April will continue to be hard times for the local Miskito Indians here that were affected by the hurricane. They will start harvesting their beans in April/May so they will be back on their own. In the mean time, many people are starting to re-build their houses that were damaged or collapsed.

We will be personally helping distribute all the food and construction aid that is given to us for the people.  
Runway
The Ministry of Aviation people inspected the runway on October 4. He walked the whole length, checked it with a GPS and tape measure, and authorized it for active use. The Lord blessed, now we have an official legal runway right beside our house. From this central location we can reach all the people up and down the Rio Coco River and other isolated villages by air.

Now we just need an airplane, which I am sure the Lord will provide in His time.

Transportation
The Lord has blessed since our last newsletter about obtaining a truck. We already have $1000 of the money we need. We have two months before we are ready to purchase the truck, and we are already about 10% of the way to our goal of $9,000. We request that you continue special prayer that the Lord will provide the money for a truck by Jan 16, 2008.

Future Plans
We will be in America November 7th to January 15th. Our phone in America is 406-381-1742 (cell).
Our web page will not be updated very often in our absence from Nicaragua.  www.hanleymissions.org

Thank you for your support and prayers.
God Bless,
Clint and Marilyn Hanley
