Ethan and I landed in Samoa at 9:30pm on Thursday night and hit the ground running. Scott picked us up from the airport and we headed west. We are going to be taking over the house that Scott and Taylor have been living in, so for our first week we all be lived together. Our first day back was filled with setting up all the essentials: bank accounts, phones, and groceries. We had the weekend to settle in and started work first thing on Monday. PiCED was hosting a 2 day training session for the new World Teach crew on Tuesday and Wednesday so there was much to be done. Taylor and I worked until almost 11pm to finish getting our presentation together. I was definitely thrown right into the mix at PiCED and on day 2 of work I presented one of the workshops for the WT group. The entire week was nonstop. There was so much to get done that Taylor and I didn’t have time for much training but I was able to get the feel for how things ran.
We had a blip in our week when the new accountant didn’t work out. He started the same day as us, but it quickly became apparent to Scott and the rest of the gang that the fit was not there. On Wednesday, after only 2.5 days of work, the decision was made to let him go. So who oh who will our accountant be? The search is still on for some one to officially take over, but Scott will be handling most of our accounting remotely from the great state of Georgia. If any one knows of a qualified accountant who likes long walks on the beach, the sunshine in there face, and tropical island breezes, please pass him/her my way :)
