Back From Orientation

We got back last night from Kansas City and our IICS (International Institute for Christian Studies - http://www.iics.com/) orientation. We spent a week with our fellow appointees (see picture) learning about how to deal with culture shock, ministering in a foreign country and building a support team. The best part was definitely getting to know the other IICS appointees, which wasn't hard since we spent 12-14 hours a day together. It also got us excited about going overseas to teach and minister.

As a part of our support-raising, starting a blog was suggested as a good way to stay in touch with our family, friends and support team. So, we decided that it was finally time to join the blogging world. We hope to post regularly, every 2-3 days, which seems manageable. I (Steve) was appointed as the official family blogger through a series of long discussions and a complex decision-making process in the traditional Peterson fashion. In other words, Diana told me to do it. :)

Hope that you enjoy our bloggin' and look forward to sharing our lives with you, Steve & Diana
