It is so wonderful to be back again for another year. This is the leadership team for the year that I'll be working with. The amazing thing is that 2 of the other 6 team leaders for this year were with me at the same school my first year. It's been wonderful so far to be back with them again as we prepare to leave for another year in China. Our teams arrived this past Monday and have survived the first few days of training. We have had some really great times so far as a team and I'm so excited to see what happens in their lives and in our team as a whole this year. I don't have any pictures with teammates yet, so I'll work on that so you can see some faces and know who I'll be working with this year.
I really can't express how incredible it is to be right at the center of where you should be. This week has already begun to confirm for me again that this job with this group of people is such a great fit for me. I'm so excited to see where that will take me and what it will look like in the years to come.
Something you can be thinking about this week is my teams visa situations. They do not have their visas in hand yet and the process of getting them has been bumpy at times for various reasons. The organization we work with for our visas was closed during the olympics and our friends at the place has been on vacation since then so it's just hard to get everything processed. We are supposed to fly out on the 16th, so my six girls need to have everything cleared for them by that day! I'll keep you updated on that.
