The last two weeks we have been in Marburg in the mission’s headquarters. In the first week we participated there in a Candidate Orientation. We and two other future missionaries dealt with the history of the Marburger Mission, the structures, the theological backgrounds, legal matters and more. It was interesting to learn all these things and to get to know our organization in more detail. In the mornings Amy was with the wife of a colleague and their little boy, which helped us a lot. In the afternoons she was at the program with us. It was nice to get to know the other two future missionaries better. One of them is Ruth Estell. She is American and will also be going to Taiwan in August. She will be part of our team and will work at Bethesda, which is a home for callenged children and adults. We really look forward to work together with her.
This week we participated in the mission’s headquarters and helped with different things. We will do that again for a few times in the coming months. In this way, we get to know the work in the office and the staff in Marburg better.
