Hey guys, a couple quick updates:

Today the guys did some more work here at the seminary in Siguat. We went and bought some trees and planted them around campus, they all look really nice. I got to talk to Mark a lot today and hear about his vision for the place. It serves as a church retreat as well, so at times there are church groups that come out here and rent rooms. Well, there's a lot that Mark is wanting to update and beautify so that it will be a more appealing place for church groups, and thus up the revenue. So what we've done these past couple days will help that. He talked about making this place a launching pad for sending out Honduran missionaries. There're a few students that recently went to Turkey with Mark and Michelle, and they have a big interest in serving as missionaries there to the Muslims. Mark said once they learn the language, they'd fit in so easily compared to white people trying to do missions work there. In Turkey, they observed what some Latin missionaries were doing and it was very fruitful; so it's looking like it'll be a great idea.

As for me, my time here is probably coming to a close. I decided to go home a week early and be with my family for my dad's surgery. Allie feels that she needs to stay here and finish the mission in Tela (where the team is spending the last week), which I completely understand. As Allie mentioned earlier, there is some crazy political stuff going on, so I should make it to the airport okay, but there're probably gonna be a lot of check points on the roads. Again, we are perfectly safe. No one is in any kind of danger, it's just looking to be really inconvenient for people needing to travel on the roads.

The entire trip I've been looking and pondering and trying to figure out what I could do on the mission field in a place like this. It'd be relatively easy to get a job teaching English at a school, but that's barely part of what I want to do. Being back here at the seminary has gotten the wheels turning in my head. There are lots of students here that need/want to learn English. And if I could teach the Bible as well, that would just be majic. So who knows, maybe I'll end up in Siguatepeque, Honduras one day as a professor at SEBCAH. (I know it sounds funny, Professor Ruzicka. But I think your title sounds funny too, so how bout that?) And if that doesn't work out, then I'll just go back to driving around in a van and solving mysteries. Anyways, Mark told me if I want to come back here next summer, he can set me up to teach English here at the seminary or at any school for however long I want. Pretty cool stuff.
