To get ready for our China adventure, we were required to attend some training at the BYU Kennedy Center. The training consisted of 10 hours of instruction for 10 days in two weeks. Our classes started at 8:00 AM and ended around 8:30 each day with 1 hour for lunch and 1 1/2 hours for dinner. LONG DAYS! Kirk and Midge Evans were our mentors in this program.
Kirk is pictured above with the Chinese gong he rang to signal the beginning of each class.
Below you can see our classroom at the Kennedy Center where we were packed in very cozily. There were 56 of us in this group, all preparing to go to different universities throughout mainland China.
In this picture with us are Donna and Roger McEvoy. Donna was a neighbor of ours when we lived in our first home in St. George in Morningside, She lived down the street from us. Her daughters and my daughters were, and are still, good friends. They are going to Xian, China.
