MTI

This Friday will end the five weeks I have been at Missionary Training International. I have attended two different training sessions during this time. There have been a total of 60 missionaries in attendance, some for just one training some for both. The break down, 5 single men (plus one man who came without his wife), 12 single ladies, and 21 married couples. There have also been 32 children here. Plus the trainers and facilitators, many of whom have also served as missionaries.

Just because it has been amazing for me to think about, I have listed the countries people will be going to:

Afghanistan
Austria
Cambodia
Central African Republic
Chad
China
Czech Republic
Denmark
Ecuador
Egypt
Ethiopia
Guatemala
Honduras
India
Indonesia
Japan
Kenya
Latvia
Madagascar
Romania
Rwanda
Spain
Sudan
Swaziland
Thailand
Uganda
Ukraine
Uruguay
Zambia

Take a minute, look at a map. It is pretty incredible!

So, I have noticed that I am a simple girl. There is a LOT of beauty in trees and rocks!

My friend Mi Yun, a missionary and a great photographer. She is the one who took all the pictures I have posted except for this one.

Colorado Springs - Air Force Academy

This was my first time to any of the US military schools. The Air Force Academy is really incredicle - I mean, I totally want to attend now. Their honor code is "We do not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do so." Good code! Anyway, there was a lot to see at the Academy, but I was most impressed with their chapel, here are a few pictures.

inside - but the picture does not do justice to how beautiful it is.

In the basement, there are additional chapels, this is the front of the Catholic chapel. It was beautiful.



The Jewish chapel.

pictures Colorado Springs - Garden of the Gods

So, this place is called Garden of the Gods - perhaps better to call it God's garden. It was beautiful. Clearly God is creative and amazing!



missionary friends - Jennifer, Katie, and Angie.
