"Mr. Fool, You got 24 hours to get our picture of the Early Beginnings. I never want to see your ugly face again or I'll call the cops. It would be nice for you to send for any of the kidsnear us. Your responsibility as a father has failed in our book. When Mom gets her divorce you better sign it. You.ve made a fool around the world and continue doing it. You'll never learn until it's to late which it is to late. Your going to be off limits of us. And when I grow up I'll never forget what you did to me and my mother. And i'm never going to call you again. You got money for Jimmyu Swaggart but nmot for our clothes. People are already embaraased of how you treated us. We will survive.

10/29/00 - Bruce receives e-mail from Luis confirming 12/27/93 departure from Loris, SC, was planned as a "Hallman family move" and not a separation due to "unhappy differences" as Annie's divorce Complaint stated (see Luis' email):

"Dad, I agree with what you are saying. We were eventually supposed to reunite in Texas. I was not aware of any unhappy differences that led to the separation. My understanding was that the rest of the family was to follow once we were established in Texas. My view of the situation at hand is that Annie used and took advantage of her "freedom" to her advantage. Now that she has been alone all this time and really enjoyed it, why not keep it that way. There is no better time to take advantage of the situtation than now, when you are down on your luck. What would you like me to do? I just hope that whatever happens, that the kids don't suffer. After all it isn't their fault."

08/03/04 – Bruce appeared before Judge ______ of the Horry County Family Court and was sentenced to an additional six (6) months in jail for contempt of court as a result of him not signing “the paper”. Because at the beginning of the trial Bruce was presented paperwork by Annie’s lawyer (Deborah Dantzler) that upon his signing would have transferred one-half of their 80-acre farm over to Annie. However, due to the fact that “God said” Annie’s divorce case was a sham, and that He didn’t want Bruce signing over the land to Annie, Bruce was found in contempt of court for not obeying the Court’s Order (see prepared statement). And furthermore, the Judge ordered that another trial would be set for a future date before Bruce’s release in which he would be given the opportunity to comply with the Court Order once again. And if during that Court session he continued to refuse an additional sentence of six (6) months would be added to his existing jail time.

08/07/04 – Bruce receives note from Officer Gerald requesting that he call his “brother” at 756-9187 on the following day at 1:00 p.m. This request was in response to a phone call HCDC had received for Bruce.

08/20/04 – Bruce released from HCDC: God supernaturally opened the jail-house doors and told Bruce “Just go!” No paperwork was made available by HCDC as to reason for his release.

Marta's Letter #1

[3/21/95]

Dear Dad

I'm writing to say hello, because you wrote in one of the letters saying that I do write. I don't even know where to start from. I guess from my life and my son, and my husband. Well like I wrote to Luis and Hadassah saying I have changed alot. I know you believe me because I know that you are an adult and when we have children we have to think like an adult not like a kid. One of the reasons is my son, the second because I'm a wife and have to be there with my husband when ever he has a problem just like he is with me when I have a problem too. Dad, I'm happy but at the same time I'm sad, because I miss you, Luis, and Hadassah, and I would like to be over there with you'all. I'm happy because I have my baby and my husband that loves me alot. I have them both because they are a part of me, and they bring me joy. I'm trying to built a house but I don't have any money the things over here are very costi alot. My husband works, but with the money he earns is for the food, and to buy other important things. We must pay a rented house and thats even cost more money. I did receive the money that you sent me. I'm going to save it till I get some more money so I can start builting. You wrote saying that you were going to keep on send me more money by Aura Sanchez. I would like for you to keep sending me the letters or anything at the same address the you have wrote all this time, another thing is if you send me more money I would like for you to put it at his name because the banks won't change it because I'm not 18 years old. My husband can because he is older at his name. PACIFICO CAIDERON FLORES

I do read your letters. I readed one of the letters that was very interesting about your friend and the egg. like you said you can't make anyone do something they don't want to do. Remember when you and Annie usto to make us do things that we didn't want. When you said that you smashed the egg on his head you felt that you had lost a friend. Just imagine how my brothers and sisters felt when we didn't want to. I know that you have changed and gave your heart and soul to Jesus. I understand when Annie told you to spank us or to do something else to us I know you would do it with a pain in your heart. Remember when you wrote a letter asking me to pray for her. I did. I'm glad that you found out what kind of person she is behind everyone back. I forgive her for all the bad things that she did and does behind my back. I know that she hasn't changed because she loves to lie, - "thats a sin." All the lies that tells the girls about me and all the lies that she tells my mom about the girls. I don't see why she even has to talk about me because I'm living my life the best I can, and honest. "that's important" I would like like to see her and ask her what does she win when she lies. It must be a trophy. When she came a few years past when I was going out with my boyfriend witch is my husband. She came and told him alot of lies. and told him to leave me because of what had happened to me when I was little girl. I still remember when she usto Luis & Felix to pick on me about that. I know that if that would have happened to her she wouldn't like that. that's very painful. and it's not very nice. I readed the little book. "The Long Trip" It's very interesting and truth what the little book say's about John, that is truth because the whole world is lost in the Devil's road to destruction Sometimes over the hill one another in front of everyone that really scares me because I have my son. I don't him to grow up seeing them bad things I pray to Jesus to help go the right way. I love him alot and I don't want him to go hell. Well lets talk a little about the girls, they are behaving good. They told me that they want to go back to the USA but to Texas with you not with Annie because they told that she would slap them, tell them cuss word, etc. Would you do that favor for them so they can finish their school, if you can't take them back what you can do is put them in school over here in the Americans school base. It's like if they where over there. All you have to do is call them and talk to them about the girls and that you were in the Air Force. because mom doesn't have money to pay a private, nore a public and you could pay please do that for the girls they have a years of school I don't know why Annie didn't them finish the years the were in, and then bring them to Panama. I know Annie doesn't what to know anymore about us and other kids. I don't know about you. She came to Panama and she didn't even ask about the girls she that she doesn't what to know about me because she didn't tell me to get pregant. My son is first. She thinks that I want her talk then my son no way. Write me and lett know about what you think about the girls. I'm not going to write any more because my hand hurts and you said nomore then 4 pages.

I Love You, Martha

P.S. write

Marta's Letter #2

June 1, 1995

Dear Dad,

How are you doing. I hope fine. I'm no doing so fine. because I'm so sad because my marriage is breaking up. My husband and I have separated because he wan't to do what he wan'ts and that can't be that way because he wan't to be going out with other woman's. I love him alot and I think I'm not going to be able to get use too without him. I have talked to him and I guess he wan'ts to do with his life what he wan'ts. I want to go over there to get away from all this and him. I would like to go over there and finish my school and so that my little son can have a better opportunity of life. I hope you can do want I'm asking you because you always send in almost all the letters asking me if I want to go over there and now I'm sending you an answer (yes) Know changeing Annie did come to panama and didn't even do anything good. Annie brought the girls over I don't know why. She what to be up and down the street with the girls On day she takes the girls to the nuns and the girls come to moms house. Sometimes I stopp and think the girls were fine over there they could of finish there school and be somebody in this life. They can't even go to school over here because they don't have their papers. Annie doesn't even give mom any meney to buy food for the girls. It's not that moms doesn't want to work it's that she's sick with a pain on her back and the doctor told not to work because you have to do heavy work. I would like for you to take the girls over too. they can't be living the way we are living its not fair that they have to live this way. Where theres not light "no bathroom" to be able to go use the bathroom you have to go to my aunthouse and to be able to have water you have to carry it from far away and the girls are not use to it. They told me that they want to go back to the USA te finish their school. Annie has not gotten the girls passport because the girls to me that she doesn't want the girls to go back over there anymere and that you had sad that you didn't them over there too? She said over here that you didn't have to see what happens to the girls and that you didn't want to know about them. I couldn't believe it when she told us that. I said to myself. this is another trick from satan that gueding her I know that dad couldn't of said that. When she came to over one day in hotel that she was talking to you about that she need some money and I didn't know if you told her yes & no that when she hang up the phone she said, That stupid man makes me sick. Also she has always rented a car when she comes over and never takes the girls anyware. She gives it to her sister so she can use it to go to work and go anywhere. Annie doesn't even use it. It's not Aura. Annie said that she didn't want to go back to USA because she likes to live this kind of life. I feel sorry for her. She also said that she wasn't going to eat bible with you. What she needs is that we pray for her. Dad I did offer my baby to Annie just to see what she would say. I'm not crazy yet to give my only baby that I love so much that that demon. and I'm not crazy like to give my baby so he can live the life that I live with her when I was over there. Will that all the truth about what going on over here. It's the simple truth. Now I don't want you to think that I'm tell you all this to get points with you. "No" it's the simple truth and you can anybody like the girl sake better then them to tell you. I'm going to tell them to write you. please dad what wrote about that I wan't to go over. I'll see you keep in touch

Love, your grandson, Martha
