7 days down, 7 to go

Well we've been in Charlotte for a week now.

We started off the week by getting 4 different immunization shots on Saturday, followed up with another one yesterday. The Typhoid Fever immunization is pill form and we'll take the last one tonight...then only one more rabies shot to look forward to.

We've had classes from 8:30am to 5:00pm all week. The classes have been interesting, with topics like mobilization/travel, thinking biblically on diversity and worldview, islam and expectations. We only have about 3 hours of class tomorrow, and get all Sunday off.

All together there are 13 couples and 9 single women. So if you're a single man, it looks like the numbers are in your favor in missions. Between the 13 couples we have about 26 kids. The boys are split up into classes of about 6 kids each. There time is split up between learning, crafts, sports and field trips.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday we had some pretty intense thunderstorms. There was about a 15 minute period where there was pretty much continuous thunder. All the kids ran out into the rain and were soaked in about 10 seconds. We had to try to walk the 300 yards between the residence building and the main building both nights for dinner. Everyone was pretty wet...but at least nobody was struck by lightening.
