I’m
here! After flying out the day school ended, going to Kate’s Sweet Adeline
Concert, and driving four hours from Houston to Tyler, I am finally here
at the Mercy Ships Headquarters for my Onboarding training!
Last night I moved
my stuff in and went over to my small group leader’s room for tea and to meet
my small group for the next month. Mom and Kate and I spent my last evening together
for a while in the most lovely way…eating at Cracker Barrel and watching the
Tonys!
Today
was day one of training for me! The people here are from all over the world
(Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands, England, New Zealand, Germany, and who
knows where else!) and there are people of every age and background! The campus
where we’re staying is very pretty and I’ve only gotten lost twice (trying to
find the training room and trying to find the cafeteria). I got to eat lunch
with Mom and Kate today and then they had to leave to go back from Houston. So my goodbyes are officially all done! Whew! I am in Texas, flying solo, but
surrounded by lots of soon-to-be-friends!
My counsel for you is simple and
straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ
Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re
well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what
you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living
it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. –Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG)
