FPO Week 1 Recap

Wonderful yet a little nervewracking are the best 2 ways to describe our first week at orientation! Other than a small weather related delay at the Atlanta airport, we made it to Virginia safely. We got settled into our quad shortly after arriving on Monday night (we are in a building with 4 apartments). "The Farm" as some refer to it is about 7 miles from the nearest town, but we're enjoying the secluded environment. There are approximately 140 trainees (some short term, some long term) and we've gotten to know some wonderful people. We were in meetings good portions of the day on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday on everything from child safety to spiritual preparation. We also have assigned tasks, with David on the Cross Cultural Worship Team and Chara on the Library Team. We're excited about what God has planned for next week, stay tuned for more and send up a prayer if you think about us!

What have we been doing??

Well . . . the better question is, what haven't we been doing? We have sold David's truck, worked on our house,  preached and presented our missions presentation at Pine Forest Baptist Church near Beaumont, TX, and visited with our family as well as retired missionaries.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but we are looking forward to the new challenge that awaits us 1 week from Monday, when we fly to Virginia for Field Personnel Orientation (FPO). Stay tuned for more . . .
