Train & Multiply
Honestly, there hasn't been much to do with T&M this week. I finished as much as I know how to do, so anything beyond the usual inquiries and training requests, I'm in a holding pattern. Gotta wait for more training.
One cool thing this week is that I fielded a request for training from two people in Brazil. They are a thousand miles apart, so chances are they won't be able to attend the same training event. One speaks English, but the other only speaks Portuguese. Through the marvels of technology, I was able to have a conversation in Portuguese. Google Translate may not be perfect, but it gets the job done.

I spent most of Monday stuffing and mailing my latest prayer letter. I'm hoping to connect with as many people as possible in the next few months. I'm super excited about everything we've got planned for the coming year.

On Tuesday we heard from a missionary who wrote an autobiography. We have a lot of missionaries who do that. They aren't as widely known as a lot of missionary stories, but they are always interesting. You can find more books here.
Yesterday, we heard from David and Marty. They were missionaries in Japan for years and now work at HQ. They traveled back to Japan last fall for a visit. We're desperately in need of missionaries to Japan as most of our current missionaries are getting older. Japan is where OMS began, so we have a unique bond with the people.
One thing Marty shared with us is a project some of the women have started in order to gain employment after losing everything in the tsunami. You can find more at nozomiproject.com and megumiproject.myshopify.com.
Other Projects
Every year, ECC puts out an Annual Report detailing the projects of the previous year. I've been helping our graphic designer find photos.
And of course, we're also working on conference. Part of that involves creating radio advertisements to air on local channels. I've been working on a few variations - 30 seconds, 60 seconds, etc.
One big thing for conference was doing inventory on one of our basement storage areas to see what we can use for display purposes. There was a ton of stuff down there that probably hasn't seen the light of day in years. Case in point:

Super gross down there, but I managed to throw some things away, so that was soothing.
Also, it was super windy today.
That's all for now. Have a great weekend.
