Our first week of training

Our first week of training has been fantastic.
We've had a very full week! We've been learning about diversity, culture, safety, security, creativity, and prayer... just to name a few of the areas of study! We've also been able to learn more about OM as an organization and all their work throughout the world. We've had a chance to meet several experienced missionaries and hear about all the amazing work God is doing. We've also done quite a bit of "practical" missionary training such as making balloon animals and other fun games to interact with the children we'll be meeting along the way.

We've also included a few pictures of our conference center. As you can see from the pictures, the center is very modern. The conference center is located in the midst of many pastures and meadows and is right on a river, so it's really quite a lovely setting. The location is a great place to "get away from it all" and focus on what God has planned for us in the coming two years. Although we are very much enjoying our training and learning quite a bit, we are getting very anxious to board the ship! :) And as you can see from the first photo, I'm very much enjoying all the wonderful European cafe au laits!
