a weekend in Honduras

This is Kendra again. So, on Saturday night we went to dinner in San Marcos and it was really good. Then we went back to the intern house and watched Scrubs until Heather, the newest addition to our intern family arrived. She is really cool and I was very glad to meet her.

Sunday morning, I started to input the dairy records into my computer. It is very exciting work. Then for lunch we went to Meredith´s house and it was AMAZING! Then we went to a church in a town near the pacific ocean. It was really hot and the bugs were bad, but we had a great time praising the Lord. I learned a lot from the sermon, which was about faith in God.
Then we went to Pizza Hut in Choluteca for dinner. It was a great day.

On Monday, I went into the office to get caught up on emails, do some necessary research and begin to meld two questionnaires together. I have one that covers questions about farming practices and I am combining it with a medical one. The interns will be conducting these surveys in a village near the Mission Lazarus´coffee plantation. I am really looking forward to that.

Today, I went to the school for the first time. The kids were so cute. I had fun teaching them to write and playing with them. Now Haley, David and I are just hanging out in San Marcos.

Tomorrow I hopefully will finally subdivide my legume fields. Thursday, I will be working in the Refuge and on Friday all the interns are leaving to go to the Ruins at Copan for the weekend. I love Mayan history and I really am excited to be going. It should be an exciting weekend.

Hey Kendra, thanks for posting. There are at least several future interns that are very interested in reading what your daily life in Honduras is like.

Thanks again - Mark
