Arrived at Training

Just a quick note to say that I arrived at my training. This place is beautiful; the mountains are spectacular and the view is breathtaking. As part of our orientation this evening they did a section on preventing the spread of germs since we are all living in such close quarters and that pleased my heart. We were cautioned that black bears have been spotted in the area but no rattle snakes.

We are in a conference center at the base of the mountains. Every thing we need is located here, including a work out room. There are mountain trails for hiking, biking and running just out the back door. There are about 42 people here plus 14 children and we are going to 19 different countries. I am so excited, I met 2 other girls who are going to the same city I will be in. One is a nurse (Ashley) and the other is community developer (Jody). Jody is traveling the same time I will be. I am staying an extra day at the B&B so we won't actually arrive in country together. This has been so awesome and I haven't even been here a full day. The training will be intense, the days look long but I think it will be fantastic. It's times like this that confirm I made the right decision. I'll have to remember these memories to carry me through when things get tough.
