These past two days have been much more relaxing and slower pace than the first week here. It was so nice to not be as busy and have to sit through sessions all day. On Sunday we got the whole day off. I slept in and didn't have to be anywhere until 10:15! I went to church at the church/school where we are staying and ate lunch with one of the returning teachers. She will be teaching 5th grade next year in Indonesia and was telling us her horror stories of the pempantus (helpers) that she's had. In the afternoon we got together as a team and heard more about Indonesian and Sudanese culture. We watched video of a missions trip the school took to an island in Indonesia and some home video one of the families had of their house and the school events. We took a look at the year book and other pictures and even got a chance to try some Indonesia style chips. We ended out the night with playing cards and watching a movie.
Today we started out with small group bible study. We then had a session on Singleness, an interesting topic to consider when working overseas. We also heard about Christian Education from someone who came from ACSI. This afternoon my future roommate Emma and I took off and went to the Civil Rights Museum, which is where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. I also had a one-on-one session with my advisor to talk in depth about a personality assessment called FIRO B. Tonight we went out to dinner with the principle of the school in Indonesia and our whole group who is here at PFO. It was a good chance to connect since it can be difficult sometimes because we are such a large group.
