Yesterday all the interns finally got to meet each other! I made it to the airport against all odds and met up with Dusty and Cecily and the rest of the interns and went to the guest house we stayed at last night. The five of us (me, Dylan, Lydia, Cameron, and Caroline) stayed up last night and talked and got to know each other for a little while. Not that I can determine what will happen over the next ten weeks, but I have a good feeling about our group :)

Last night we had our first "team meeting" and I feel way more prepared and informed. Which is really helpful. One thing Mark (the missionary in Togo who picked us up in Accra and is helping us get back to Togo) really hit hard on was building personal relationships with the people we're working with, and that it's really important for them to remember you after you leave. Ask them about their families and get to know their lives. I don't know how to do that with the language difference. I'm honestly probably the most concerned about that and about my Bible and nutrition lessons. Even after tonight I still have no idea what I'm doing with those. I have no teaching experience and no idea what their culture is. I'm pretty much still at a loss there.

  1. Mackenzie, knowing you as I do...I have faith that this will all fall into place and you will be great (or some version of great) because of YOUR faith and because of all the people praying for you. We love you! Mom
