Staff Orientation/Training

Jim and I had an incredibly fruitful week at Staff Orientation/ Training at a conference center just north of Colorado Springs.  There was about 40 people in training total, 10 future staff and 30 interns (interns volunteer for 6mo-1yr, in every office all over the world, and are most often in college or just out).

Next will be our "exploratory" trip to Uganda.  We leave Tuesday for 10 days.  Once home, we'll be preparing the house to sell and pack for our month at MTI (Missionary Training International).  We will be staying at MTI, full room and board, on campus for the entire month of May.  

That's it for now.  Its hard to plan too far in advance, but just wanted to give an update as for what we have planned.  We studied Proverbs 16:9 yesterday in our family devotional which says "A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps."  This verse is a constant thread to our daily walk.  Our year ahead is so unpredictable, yet we are called to 'plan our way.'  We'll do our best, as we turn it over to the Man upstairs :-)
