Monday June 27th

Good morning readers! Brent again!

Yesterday our team finished another packed training! We’re beginning to ready ourselves for our trip in just little over a month… It will be here before we know it!

We were joined yesterday by Kathi Winter who will be joining us during the second week of the trip. The team is so excited to have her knowledge and expertise of HIV/AIDS education. We’ve have the privilege of collaborating with Kathi in designing curriculum to teach the students at Bridge of Hope while we are in South Africa. The team is very excited and prayerful to see what God is going to do as we approach teaching the very culturally sensitive subject of HIV/AIDS.

Our training was concluded with some Watts debriefing and reflection, then we met within our smaller teams to discuss lesson planning and activities we are going to do with the students of Bridges Academy. Emily created flash cards with the name and picture of each of the students. We all had fun trying to practice pronouncing the names of each student! Thank goodness they’ll all be wearing nametags when we first arrive!

After each training a sense of excitement seems to build as our departure dates draws closer and closer. The team is beginning to connect on deeper levels and it already feels like we’re close friends! We ask for continued prayers for preparation and for fund raising.
