Kyle week one

So they told me that it would rain quite often, say once or twice a day. Pack a raincoat. I did and it is. On and off all night and all morning it has been raining. It is quite nice though, cool and soft. The walk up the hill to meet for the devotional made me damp but you get accustomed to it.
Living in the A-frame is awesome. The guys have it best. The upstairs has a high ceiling and plenty of room. We even have our own stove and fridge if we get ambitios enough to cook. The DVD player doesn´t work upstairs but that is fine with me. I have plenty of reading and studying to do.
So far we haven´t really done anything but tour all of the Lazarus facilities, at the ranch, in San Marcos, in Choluteca, on the mountains and everywhere in between. Tomorrow is the day we start work. I will be headed to the clinic in up the mountain. Saturday we have the day off to recoup from our one day work week. I am sarcastic about it now, but I will be thankful for the day off in a few weeks, I´m sure.
I´m looking forward to spending a day on my feet instead of in the back of our Land Cruiser. Nothing is wrong with Olman´s driving skills, but my legs need a good stretching.
Saturday we are planning to go horseback riding. I´m a bit apprehensive. Not the greatest rider.
I´m reading Brave New World by Huxley. It is a fun contrast between the Honduran culture that I´m experiencing.
Last night after watching Gladiator David and Loren and I went outside and shot David´s slingshot at the giant bullfrogs surrounding the house.
Jaclyn smells funny.
Levi makes me laugh everytime I think about him, and I will never forget to pray for him, ever.
more to come...

I just want to encourage you to write here as often as you can. There are some future interns and others who take a great interest in hearing what a day in Honduras is like for you. Good luck and take care - Mark Duncan - Franklin, TN.
