Date: 1/9/11 - 1/15/11
Hours Worked: 63
Week's Activities:
This week was spent doing training in Salt Lake. Each day was long and tiring but I enjoyed every minute. Most of the time was spent trying to absorbe, practice, and perfect the teaching techniques of the people who are experts on the Self-Employment Workshop.
This week was also spent getting to know my companion, Kirsten, and the other interns. Even though the other interns are going to Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic we are going to keep in touch via the internet and learn from the experiences that we are all having.
The week ended with traveling to Accra, Ghana. It was a long flight with several delays but it was well worth it. It was funny to leave during a snow storm and land in the Harmattan weather of Ghana.

Lessons Learned:
I learned that being a teacher is more than sharing knowledge with your students; being a teacher is about facilitating a discussion that will help your students learn how to apply knowledge in the future. I also learned a great deal about how LDS Welfare Services works. This is very helpful for me because this is an organization I have always been interested in working for.
