On January 19, we boarded an airplane to Denver for another round of training at the WorldVenture headquarters. We’ll be here for another week attending WorldVenture’s annual conference. During this past week though, we completed our “Pre-Departure Training”–exciting because it means we’re getting closer to, you know, departing.
Though we still have much to do in the months ahead, we now have a much better picture of what to expect during our first term in Japan. I’ll summarize some of the things we’ve learned in our next post. For now, we just want to give a quick glimpse into a place that is starting to feel more and more like a second home. This is our third trip to WorldVenture in the past twelve months. Every time we have come, our love for this place–and its people–has grown.

He tells the story, “The fireman came and said, ‘There’s no fire here; just a Clark.’”Vi and Ted. Ted is a favorite.We were so grateful to have Papa and Nana join us on the trip. They served us every day by watching Ezra and Violet, so that we could attend the training. And, they took us to the Denver Children’s Museum the day before training started. We’d highly recommend taking a trip if you’re in Denver with children.
This stairway is lined with the hand-prints of WorldVenture kids around the world. We like to play on the stairs and find the hand-prints of children we know. Ezra learned how to use the keypad to enter the building. Here he is showing our friend Jim how to do it. Across the street from WorldVenture is a park with a great view of the mountains.Violet and Momma enjoying the nice weather and a view of the mountains. Look at that baby bump grow!
