Well its been a week now so I thought this would be a good time to write about my impressions of FPO. First lets talk about the reason we were there - to get trained. Overall the training was great but like anything that lasts 8 weeks there were parts I could have done without - the brain has a tendency to zone. The best part of the training was by far the time with Elbert. He was our leader and all our time with him was in the Word. It was refreshing. We enjoyed our living situation. We lived with two other families and a pair of single ladies. In our Quad there were 6 kids with our girls being the oldest. The kids got along great and loved spending there afternoons coloring and playing on the playgrounds. Worship was a totally new situation for most of us at FPO. We spent 4 weekday mornings plus Sunday in small group worship. It started out rough because the kids were there and involved. In our small group we had 8 kids and 9 adults. Once the kids got used to it we had a great time. We were blessed with a great group that bonded well. We learned from one another as well as shared and carried each others burdens. On Sunday nights we had cultural worship. This was always interesting because church would be in a foreign language. The preaching, worship, customs, all of it. It was a good experience but I am looking forward to a couple of worship opportunities at LPC.
Like I've said in earlier posts Friendship was the best part of FPO. We made super friends and I look forward to those friendships growing over the next few years. Overall we loved FPO. It was intense in the learning but we will always remember our time there fondly.
