I thought I'd have time to blog more often, but I seriously do not. It's hard to even find time to study!
This week has felt like an entire month. So, to make it short, I'll just write down the highlights of each day!
  • Monday - Alison Lam started teaching! We had community work duties, and I got to work in a lady's beautiful yard. There is such good spiritual food wrapped up in that work!
  • Tuesday - I sang in a microphone for an hour. And had fun. SAY WHAT!? Also, repentance at the cross. Crazy powerful, awesome stuff. So many people were set free of sin!
  • Wednesday - It is prophetic word mania in this place. I love it! Small groups met--we went to a coffee shop and talked about grilled cheese ;)
  • Thursday - Outreach prep! We found out the routes! I'm hoping to get to go to either Far East Asia or Africa. Can't wait to find out where God wants me!
  • Friday - Alison's last day. She brought some powerful words this week! It's been overwhelmingly incredible. We had communion around the cross and then danced to really loud worship music :) Then, Friday night outreach! I WENT TO THE BEACH! yesss. it was so gorgeous. We talked about the photography outreach we're starting next week. I'm super excited. It's totally my kind of ministry, man!
  • Saturday - Cave Stream and Castle Hill. Basically, this day was the most adventurous I've ever experienced. I LOVED IT!
  • Sunday - I miss my church. Enough said.
  • Monday - We watched a movie about miracles God does. And it had videos of people getting gold dust sprinkled on them and people getting instantly healed. Freakin cool! We did small groups today instead of work duties because of the rain. We had a tea party. And a dance party. Dalton started teaching tonight. He is such a gifted teacher! I'm stoked to hear what he has for us. 

That's all I have for now. I really need to study the map of Asia. I've got 47 countries to memorize by Wednesday! AHH! More later, goodbye!

Man, the first week of DTS has been really amazing!
I feel such a close bond with everyone. The Holy Spirit is really knitting us together!
Getting into the groove of the schedule has been a little difficult, but fun at the same time.
The lectures have been on random topics this week. One really cool thing we did was staff/student testimonies. It look 5 1/2 hours, but it was awesome!!! It made me remember how blessed I've been, and how thankful I am for the way I grew up.
One of my favorite things I learned about this week was how to intercede correctly! It's been powerful.
   Today we went into Christchurch and did some worshipping on this hill that looked over the city. We prayed over the city and some other nations. Then we ate lunch up there. After that we went into town and the staff broke us into groups, told us we were in the "AW80 AMAZING RACE", then gave us a piece of paper with a clue on it! We had to run around the city finding other clues until we reached the finish line! It was hard and super fun at the same time. Christchurch is very, very beautiful. I wish I could've stopped and gotten some photos of all the places we were running!
Now I'm back at the base and exhausted. Going up to the prayer room soon to get some one-on-one time with Jesus.

Love and blessings!!
