Can't believe in two days we will have been away from home for 2 months. It has been crazy! We have learned so much in such a short amount of time. Caleb and I have two more days of practice school and then we are finished. Next week is a wrap up week for training and then we officially swear in on August 20th. Please continue to keep us in your prayers- for strength and endurance!
Practice school has been very interesting. I have been teaching in Romanian with a partner teacher. Of course I have been reading from note cards, but also trying to use some of my improv skills, which is difficult because I am not really sure if what I am saying is correct or if they understand me! It's hard to hold discussions or respond to what the kids say. Nonetheless, it has been fun! The students here are so different from at home, they are all very timid and shy. It takes awhile for them to loosen up and participate. I believe the idea of "interactive" teaching is very foreign to them. But once they do open up, it is amazing and they have so many great ideas and thoughts!
Miss you all! Hope all is well. - Brynn

Hi Brynn and Caleb!
It is hard to believe that it has almost been 2 months! What a whirlwind you have been through! So many new experiences so quickly! I am so proud of you guys for stepping out of your comfort zone and letting God use you in a new place for such a time as this! May God continue to bless you guys as you finish up this training time and move into this new phase of your service with the Peace Corp! I love the pictures that you send! They have been great discussion starters with Beckett. (different cultures, etc.) Anyway, we love you guys and will continue to pray for you as you make this next transition!
Blessings~

Hi Brynn and Caleb -
So glad to hear you're enjoying your experience so far. It sounds like an amazing adventure! We miss you and can't wait to keep reading about all that you're doing. John saw your magnet on the fridge this weekend and said, "I want to build a tent with Mr. Caleb." :-)
What kind of supplies do you need?
Love,
Dustin and Cathy
