The View from Turner

Hi All,
I'm writing from Turner, Oregon where Training is being held this year. We're staying at a (very nice) campground here in Turner. The rooms are halfway between a cabin and a hotel: there are bunk beds in the room, but also a private shower, which is nice. There is a steep path between the dining hall and the rooms, which keeps us from getting lazy.
The schedule for each day has been: breakfast, morning session, lunch, afternoon session, dinner. Wednesday and Thursday were on Language Acquisition (which I found very interesting). Friday and today were teaching English as a Second Language. Tomorrow is church and then a session on Chinese culture: what to bring, what not to bring, how to share, etc. Monday through Wednesday will be presented by a cultural anthropologist on cross-cultural life.
I fly out Wednesday night on a red-eye flight back to New York. There are 40 days until I leave for China. I have about 1/5th of my support raised.
:) Liz
