Orientation

It has been a few days into orientation and it has been great to meet so many new people so ready and willing to serve God. I have had the pleasure of meeting Godswill and Kinley who I will be taking the position of next year. I will be teaching secondary school which is high school in Laos. I am a little nervous teaching older kids which I have no experience in and I am just going to jump in! I am also rooming for the week with an IVEPer from Laos that is going to Colorado and so we have bonded and both asked each other many questions. We have sessions each learning about MCC policies as well as living with host families, communicating across cultures, how to nurture yourself, self-care and resiliency, and gender relations. Which have all been very helpful and have given me some reassurance.   I have got to spend some time as well with my partner for the year Rachel. She will be teaching primary students and so elementary school. We are excited to see how the year will go! Keep me in your prayers!
