Management Training Update

We just completed week one, of four, of management training/leadership intensive.  It was a good week of learning and building our skills.  MAF’s new model of training those for leadership includes “soft” skills, as much as technical ones.  It is these skills that the wives also are learning.  Jocelyn, my friend and fellow MAF wife from Kinshasa, go for the morning sessions with the guys where we explore spiritual disciplines and character traits of good leaders, so that we can support our husbands and the team we are serving in leadership.

In the afternoons, the guys go for technical aspects, like finance, HR, planning, etc.  It will be a full four weeks when all is said and done.

Axel has been doing very well.  His eating is great and we’re getting more sleep at night.

Today is Matthew’s birthday.  We will be celebrating by working on the house with Nick and Jocelyn.  We have our first house guests coming this week, so we are motivated to get parts complete!

I still haven’t uploaded pictures, but it’s on my mind…that counts for something, right?
