This week, like the previous 2, is flying by!!
Over the weekend we had a group outing to a mall, where we talked to various people of different backgrounds. This was an excellent experience in starting up conversations, and we look forward to getting even more opportunities to engage the culture around us, even in Virginia.
We started the week with sessions on anthropology, specifically looking at several of the cultural differences we will experience overseas. We also looked at "culture shock," a common occurrence for virtually all cross cultural workers, as well as how to minimize it.
Although the food is very good, we were ready for a small break, so yesterday after class we checked out one of the vehicles and went to Walmart to load up on munchies as well as a welcome stop by Chick-fa-lee!
Today was worldview training, and we attended separate trainings for the two worldviews we will find most prevalent in our part of the world.
We continue to be amazed and appreciative of the incredible training and preparation we are receiving. Continue to pray against attacks from the enemy and that our faith and trust may grow stronger each day!
