Day two started with some inductive Bible study on the book of Jonah. The study was led by Spencer Stith (Director of Faculty Recruiting) with a list of seven questions and the mindset that all we knew was what we had just read. It was a great exercise to force us to look at the passage the way someone who had never read the Bible before would. We repeated this exercise each morning of orientation, which ended up being one of the highlights. Day two Bible study was followed by some more lectures on culture shock and balancing teaching and minstry. We were given the evening off and took the chance to check out Kansas City.
We drove down to an area called the Plaza, a shopping and dining area south of downtown. The weather was beautiful and we got a chance to walk around and check out some of Kansas City's many fountains. We learned after we got back to the hotel that Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains." We had dinner at an Irish pub and then sat outside and had some gelato. Another excellent day!
