This Plot of Ground

This is it. (Although from my angle the grass looks a little greener.)
Charlotte, North Carolina. (SIM headquarters.)
July 11th - 25th. (Two weeks.)
And it started today with five shots administered by two nurses into both arms simultaneously. (Ouch!)

Welcome to SIMCO!!

I live in the brown building at the bottom and walk to the biggest brown building at the top each morning to begin the day of training.

Here's my scheduled course load (minus the immunization parties):
Finances
Attitudes in Missions
Thriving in Adversity
Health Care
Religions
Using Media
Spiritual Warfare
Contextualized Theology
Managing Stress
Cooking
Community and Personality
SIM Vision
etc...

If you aren't completely confused by now, way to go, and welcome to the next two weeks of my summer as I train in North Carolina in preparation for Bolivia.

I will keep you updated as I go, but for now, please be praying for two things:
COMMUNITY with the others in training
CONCENTRATION during the long days of information gathering
