A week ago we finished a class on Simple Living (Living Simply) here at the Missionary Training Center. It was fun but a bit of a challenge. We were only allowed 1 hr of long distance phone calls and emailing a week. We were not allowed to get on the internet or watch TV or movies and we had limited electricity. We had to have our lights out by 9pm and we were not allowed to use any electric appliances except our fridge, stove, washer and dryer. Below is a picture of us playing games without electricity with some staff and students because we didn't finish the game before 9pm.
We also had to make all of our food from scratch using no boxed or pre-made packaged foods/meals. This class is designed to give us a taste of how normal life on the mission field often is. It was a very practical class and we learned many helpful tips for cooking, sewing, building, plumbing...etc
Below are some picture of Jenna helping mommy make homemade oatmeal cookies for snack and she got to help daddy make homemade bread too.
