There are a number of steps one has to take when preparing to go into the mission field. One of them is psychological testing. This past Saturday we took the tests...3 1/2 hours of question after question after question...from every angle, negative and positive.
We just had our post-test psychological interview...no red flags, thankfully and the results were very accurate. Louise and I on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to extrovert vs introvert! No surprise there. With me perfectionism was a bit on the high side as was self-sacrificing and a dislike of confrontation. No surprise again.
But there you have it...very close to the Myers-Briggs result.
ESFJ (Extravert, Sensor, Feeler, Judger)
People of this type tend to be: active, friendly, and energetic; outgoing, affectionate, and talkative; concerned about others and careful to be polite and cooperative; realistic, literal, and conscientious; highly sensitive and easily hurt; organized, responsible, and conventional. The most important thing to ESFJs is their relationships and helping people in real, and practical ways.

The next step is attending the SAMS Crossroads Conference July 1 to 3. Then the matter of people/partner raising and the paperwork necessary to get the right visa for working in Ethiopia.
In the meantime , we have been getting all our paperwork in order - applied for a copy of our marriage certificate from South Africa...not sure how long that will take! We will make that a matter of prayer too.
