Team Training Week

Team training week ended Friday with a solitude time followed by a BBQ at Whiskeytown lake. The teams are all really motivated and filled up spiritually for the ministries this summer. Kim and I couldn't attend many of the team events, but we went to a few.

The students came out of the training week excited, and motivated. They were stretched, and worked through a number of unity issues during the week. Of course, this is one of the goals of the week, to learn how to work through issues here before we go to Jordan.

Kim did some TESOL training for our team and the team going to Chile. She is going to give "homework" assignments to everyone on the team. We have a lot of lessons to prepare, so if we can get started on them here, it will make things easier when we are in Jordan.

Claire was able to catch a ride home with Micah, so it is a blessing to her to be at home until we leave. The rest of us will meet at Jackson's house and be driven to the San Fancisco airport on June 15th.

I am visiting my parents in Hemet California this week. The day I got here, we had to take my mother to the hospial with a GI bleed. She will have tests tomorrow. It was a blessing that I was here when this happened. Pray for healing for my mother, Dolores, and God's comfort for her and my father Larry. They are very anxious about her health.

Grace and peace to you this day!

Michael
