We just finished up Missionary Tech class last week (thank heavens!). While I do enjoy knowing how to wire the electricity in my house, how to maintain my solar panels and batteries in the tribe so that I can even have electricity, and how to get clean drinking water in the middle of nowhere (among many other things), I'm so nervous that I'm going to blow the entire jungle to pieces that I am immensely grateful for the students here who are training to be Tech specialists. They are the ones who will come out to the tribe when I move in or whenever I have a problem to set up or fix the techy stuff. Knowing my skills at problem solving when it comes to technology that isn't a computer (or lack thereof), I'll probably be calling them a lot!
Now that we're finished with that class (whew! i guess it's hard to tell I'm glad about that class being over??), we are starting classes in Grammar and Field Health. I'm extremely excited about the Field Health class! We are learning about basic medical care for tribal locations. I am very interested in doing medical work in the tribe overseas, so I'm wanting to learn all I can in this class!
Grammar is... interesting. I love the puzzle of figuring out the grammar in other languages and finding patterns. However, I'm getting all tripped up with the labels that we have for the parts of speech (nouns, verbs, etc). I'm terrible with identifying that type of stuff. We'll have this class for 5 more weeks, so hopefully I'll survive! :-)
