This is our group picture from M.T.I.. We are the class of 2005 of Wesleyan Missionaries!

Lots of learning and discussion at M.T.I.!

My Napoleon Dynamite Birthday cake. Ice cream cake - my favorite!!!

This is my car, after it was decorated for my birthday at M.T.I. I had to drive all over town like this for my birthday scavenger hunt!

Missionary Training Institute

During the month of June, I attended Missionary Training Institute (M.T.I.) to prepare for overseas ministry in the Czech Republic. It was held in Frankfort, IN. There was a lot of studying and class time involved. For the three weeks, we were in "class" during the day, 5 days a week. Besides this, we had to complete a 16 hour independent learning contract about our country of service, Czech Republic for me. We had a lot of fun there too, and I built friendships with other missionaries that will last into eternity! They even threw me a Napoleon Dynamite themed birthday party, since my birthday was during M.T.I.

My first entry!

Hi everyone! I have my own blog now. I've joined the club! I'm especially hoping that this will help keep my friends and family informed as I go to Czech soon! It will be a quick and easy way for my prayer partners to see what's happening! Hope to hear from you all soon!
