Lisa and I presented Cross-Cultural Orientation training for the Cornerstone Missions Team today. It was a lot of fun. This is experiential training that involves a lot of team building activities and student participation. Stuffy lecture, this is not! It is good training for the team, but just as important for us as we prepare to go.

The girls enjoyed a great day with a friend who took them to garage sales, a museum, and hosted a picnic for them. All this before they were able to run through their woods with a friend who also came to visit. They all had a great time! Annalise was asleep in the van soon after we picked her up.

You may have noticed that the count down skipped a day. We have decided to begin our journey June 3 after church instead of early June 4. As we started working on the route, we realized that we would have a number of days where driving time would need to be 10 hours. This seemed unwise with a van full of girls.
