Training in Pasadena

Phew! Now that training is over, I can look back and think about what God was trying to teach me through this whole thing! With the intesity of training (7am-10pm daily), I didn't have much time to reflect on what I learned. We learned TEFL, we got to know each other, (the picture is of Tim, Alicia, Jeff, Amy, Danielle, Donelda, me on "team day" (we were the Russian Mafia!)) had sessions on culture, language, self care, faith, and anything else you can think of, taught at a local church to practice teaching English to actual students. Somewhere in that, we ate and slept... and had some fun! Now we are all packed up and ready to head out into this unknown culture to teach English and share our lives with the people there. We have had a lot of training, but there is so much we have yet to learn, and can only learn once we get there. I'm ready! Let's go! :)
