Orientation for New Staff Day 1

ROAD TRIP

Everyone loves a good old fashioned road trip right? Last night Tina and Lisa arrived in Albion and we left this morning for good ol' Madison, Wisconsin where we will be having our Orientation for New Staff. We hit a lot of construction traffic which put us behind. And who knew you could never find a gas station on a toll road (even if you get off the toll road to area roads). Thank God that we did not run out of gas. The trip was great.

We got into town before 5 pm and were able to get settled into our hotel room. It is a great hotel, overlooking the capitol. It is so beautiful. We are being catered with some great food. It makes me miss my hubby :)

Tonight was just the introduction night. I sat with a man that works at InterVarsity Press, and he had some great life stories and wisdom to share. Speaking of InterVarsity Press, we get a free book each day here---so that means I need to get to reading them. Look forward to future posts, and conversations about the books I read.

After introductions and basic instructions, we had family group time, getting to know people that we will be spending lots of time with in the next 10 days. I have people in my group from all over the country, and it is great to get to know each and every one of them.

PRAISE GOD!!!! I am currently at 49% of my funding. Thanks to all who have given, or will be giving to support this ministry! I believe that God will bless both the gift and the giver!!!!!

And the adventure continues.......
