This week will be a pretty stressful week for most people at FPO. It's the infamous week of Security Training. It's something that I don't ever expect to happen in my region, but it's great to have the training. Everything is kept pretty secret about what goes on during this week. Half of my collegues are going through it Monday-Wednesday, so please be praying for them. My group goes Thursday-Saturday. Even though others are experiencing it now, they're not allowed to let us in on any of the secrets. Also, our sessions last for two extra hours every day this week (including Saturday), so on top of the material being stressful, we also have less down time.
Today, though, my group studied personality tests and conflict styles. We did the Meyers Brigg test and found out that most missionaries are ESFJ. I can't explain all the letters (basically extraverts who like facts, are feelers not thinkers, and like lists!). I found out that I have the typical missionary personality except I'm an introvert (surprise, surprise) so I'm ISFJ. They also enlightened us that Contigency Training is really hard on introverts because we'd rather do anything other than be singled out and questioned! I will be glad to get this week over and behind me!
On another note, though, I am half way through with my time here! I can't believe it has gone so quickly!
