May 31st 2006...first day of training.

Well it was long day. I am tired and ready for bed. But it was cool too. We talked about cultural differences and value systems and the difference between them here and in other cultures. For example the speaker pulled two women up front and then told them he was going to ask a question, and all they need to do is answer it....
He then asked them " how much do you weigh?" ... oh man, that is just a bad question, well it got the ball rolling on how we can offend and be offended and it went deep and it was really uncomfortable at times...but good none the less. Then we did some role-play and evaluation of situation that we may encounter. So all in all a very good day of insight I would say!

Another step in this LONG Journey!

Well here I am in Colorado for the next 5 weeks. I am here for training. Multi cultural training and language acquisition training. Highly exciting... I know! But so far it looks like it will be a great time!
I arrived today at noon, and we start tomorrow with the training. I will let you know more as it occurs.
Personally I am struggling right now. Just with being here when I feel I should be there!!! I am in my Jesus’ arms, this I know. But I am feeling anxious. Please pray for my focus to be where I am instead of where I “feel” I should be! Thank you my family! I will update you when I can!
