Today is my first day of Summer Missions training. Since I have already taken Teaching Children Effectively Level 1, I am in the "Advanced Training Track" which involves classes on worldview, leadership skills, advanced Bible lesson techniques, etc. We're getting started with a "bang" as there is already a Wordless Book practicum scheduled for this afternoon!
We had about three hours of ice breaker games and orientation last night. There are about 50 students here - 43 girls and 7 guys (I think). I am staying with Tamara in one of the apartments and I am SO glad that we have our own bathroom since the girls' dorm is packed.
Praises: All of the students arrived safely and everyone seems eager to begin training. I think that this will be a great bunch of people to spend the next two weeks with!
Tamara and I have such similar personalities that I think we will be a fabulous team. I had a wonderful discussion with her last night about Boston and the ministry there, and I was so excited that I had a hard time falling asleep last night. :-)
Prayer: Either I am dealing with allergies (not surprising in this location), or I am coming down with a cold. Please pray that my sore throat will subside quickly and that whatever this is will not hinder me from participating in classes and other activities.
Tamara is also dealing with the after-effects of having mono this past spring. I know that she would appreciate prayers for increased energy and strength as we begin the next few weeks of intense training with full-time ministry to follow.
Have a marvelous Saturday!
