An hour of sleep......

It has been a crazy last 24 hours. I have spent my time watching The Bucket List, then finishing Rent and then watching P.S I love you. After that we had a fun filled car ride of dancing in the car to the airport at 3 in the morning. I then boarded my plane and flew to Houston and an hour later was on my way to Tegucicalpa Honduras. After I arrived I met some other people from a Bible college who were going to teach in Honduras as well but unfortunatly not in my area or with my school. As I made it through customs I had both Barbara and Vicinte waiting for me. Then Barbara´s family took me home and treated me like a king. My first meal here in Honduras was Burger King so I don´t really have a good feel of what the food is really like. After that we met up with some of Barbara´s friends and went paintballing on the top of a mountain which was simply amazing. During our drive around town when they gave me a tour I saw someof the craziest driving I have ever seen and thought I was going to die multiple times but somehow we survived. The weather here in the mountains is actually quite pleasent. I would say on top of the mountains its about 70 and in the capital its around 80. There is a major disparity between the poor and the rich in the city. You see both huge hotels and pretty much shacks that people are living in. So far it has been a great experience but I have only had an hour of sleep in the past 36 hours so I am thinking I should really try and get some shut eye. Tomorrow I meet with a lot of the heads of Abundant Life School so I am really looking forward to that. I miss you all and hope to hear from some of you. Oh and by some crazy coincedence I met some youth who had been on a youthworks trip in Montana in the airport. I only knew it was them because they were wearing a one word shirt. It was crazy stuff. God´s Blessings

Jake.
I am glad to hear you made it safely and are settling in. I love that you saw youth in the airport! I am praying for you and hope that you find some friends to join you in Honduras! We missed you at RAMP, it wasn't the same without you. I am watching volleyball right now, which makes me think of you....

till soon,
kate
