Okay so wifi is a bit of a hike to get to so posts may not come as frequently as I expected. I have now been here for the past four days and I absolutely love it. It was hard to accept being so far away from home but as the other students started arriving I quickly felt at home. I absolutely love every one of them and we are already becoming wonderful friends. I room with four other girls and I am the youngest... but we are discovering that age is NOT a barrier in friendship!!! God has brought us all together for a purpose and we are quickly realizing how true that is. One the first day of orientation we jumped right into testimony sharing and everyone shared their personal walk with God and why they decided to come to YWAM. Everyone had a different story and they were open and honest about life.. the beautiful part was that majority of us all went and had a game night later that evening and our past life experiences did not change the fact that friendships were growing. God is opening our hearts to be open and loving towards each other and we all see the beauty in each person.
Tomorrow we officially start lectures and I can not wait to get going :)
Today we went for a walk and these are some photos of the campus. I have other photos but they are on my phone and I forgot to bring the cord with me and like I said before it is a hike to get to the wifi... so those will come later.
My DTS has a total of 16 students and 4 of us are internationals. Meghan is from Scottland, Sam is from France, Rene is from Switzerland and then of course I am from Canada.
I don't have photos of everyone yet.
Outreach locations have been announced and my options are Asia and the Middle East. I will be going to one country for outreach.. I thought it was two but that is totally okay. If God needs us to focus on one place rather than two then that is perfect for me :) I will be praying about that decision and will let you all know later what I decide. Thank you all for your prayers :)
