Our training is over and we're now back in Nebraska. We had three full days of training from Monday the 27th to Wednesday the 29th of August. We learned a lot and got to meet some really awesome people as well. We spent time discussing many different aspects of cross-cultural and team ministry as well as going over a lot of logistics. They also had us do some fun activities to get us thinking and see what it's like working as a team.

For one such activity, they gave our group of 8 people 8 dollars to buy lunch for all of us. It was intended to give us a taste of what it's like to live on a dollar per meal and to see how we would work together in the situation. It ended up working out pretty well, and we had a delicious lunch of corn tortillas with your choice of hotdogs or peanut butter and bananas(or peanut butter, hotdog, ketchup, and banana which some people apparently prefer). We also had carrots and tomatoes for veggies, and you could enjoy that delicious meal too, with some to spare, for the humble price of $7.71!
After our wonderful training came to an end we headed to Champaign, IL to visit my brother and sister in law and younger sister Joy. We had a really good time there and are really encouraged to see all the progress Jeremy has made since his brain surgery! God is such an awesome God and has been pouring out His blessing through this situation. Please pray for Jeremy and Janelle and for a quick and wonderful recovery! After a few days of nail-biting board games, it was time to head home.
We ended up leaving early this morning around 2 A.M. and arrived at our humble abode around 11 A.M. Now it's time to clean, organize, and get ready for the garage sale we're having this weekend. We're planning on having it Thursday evening 6-8, Friday morning 7-4 and Saturday 7-4. Our address is 238 S 3rd st, Seward, NE. If you're interested in donating anything please let us know. Everything's going to be free- will donation and any proceeds will go towards our trip to Austria.
