Hey all, sorry it's taken me so long to post on here, but it's been a madhouse since i got here. Anyway, i got here at around 11:00 AM on monday morning, and we talked to one of the leaders for a while. Then it was time for lunch and so we went over to the kitchen for lunch. We ate, and then i found out that i am on kitchen crew this week. so they had me washing plates and all that jazz. Fun, fun, fun. Later on, after some training and some other stuff, i got back to my room. My parents had left and i found myself sitting on my bed alone in our room thinking to myself "What have i gotten myself in to?" I was experiencing homesickness for the first time. I actually took a nap for a couple hours which really helped me out a lot. I woke up, and the next morning when i was doing my quiet time, God gave me a chapter of the Bible that he's given me quite a few times when i've been lonely and feeling sorry for myself. Ephesians 2. Don't ask me why, but that's one verse that has the power to calm me down. Strange things. Anyway, today i woke up finding that i had set the time on my alarm clock backwards and the alarm forwards. i.e. 10 AM instead of 10 PM...So naturally my alarm didn't wake me up. I then discovered that i had forgotten to bring a towel or washcloth, and so when i showered, i used my dirty shirt to dry off (Don't freak out mom...). So yah, but i found out that there's a place over by the guys end of DUDA (Name of our dorm building) where there are a bunch of things that other DTS people have left there. They have all kinds of things. But i could use a little more money so i could buy a few things at wal-mart. Bleach and a few other things. Anyway, today they told us about our work duties. ha ha ha. One of my favorite ones is cleaning the boiler. Fun stuff. I'll have Steven (My Roomie) take a picture of me after i clean it one day and i'll post it on here. But i've got some really cool pictures already. Right now we're waiting around for supper. We're having chicken. I'm on kitchen team for this whole week actually. You guys ought to send me some mail. Anything. Even if you don't have a clue who i am. Something from home would be very welcome. The address is P.O. Box 158 Cimarron, CO 81220. Please, send me stuff. Anyway, i'll post on here later. Feel free to comment. Love you all! TTYL.

Did you check in your backpack? There are two towels and two washcloths in there. We love and miss you! Mom
Did you notice that we came back around 6:30 and left your shaving kit on your bed? It was still in the trunk when we stopped for fruit. Oh, btw, don't disassemble the boiler when you clean it. I don't have time to come over there and put it back together again. :)
Love
DAD
Hi, Luke, Just want you to know we are praying for you. DUDA and Cimarron will feel like home in no time, we're sure. Hope you've found the towels and washcloths by now!
aw. Luke. I didn't realize you were leaving so soon! I tried to call you Sunday night to say goodbye, but to no avail.:-(
Anyway... Please keep us updated. Try to put pictures on here when u can. :-)
Have fun!!!
Yah i found the ones my mom put in my backpack. Cleaning the boiler pretty much just entails cleaning out the cleaned coal and filling up the hopper with more. It ends up getting you really messy...Yah i found that. I was wondering if we'd forgotten to get it. I didn't see it when we were standing around talking to David. Thanks. I'll be putting pictures on ASAP. Problem is, we have satellite here, and if you go over a certain limit of transferring, they drop you to dial-up speed. Unless you do it between 1-4 AM. I haven't been up and down here between those hours so i haven't had a chance.
You mean you aren't wandering around at 3 AM? Tht is no fun! haha jk :-)
