Many New Things

Hello everyone! So lots of new things have started this week. Yesterday we started our home fellowship which is essentially families in the community taking us in for a night of fellowship and also an opportunity for us students to be in an actual home haha which is very nice (and as an added bonus the house I go to is heated!) It was very nice to meet the family who are actually quite involved in the Seamill base. Their names are Ula and Elena (and I am basically positive I am misspelling those names).

However, even with the fun of that we did have some sad news yesterday. Sam (one of the students in the DTS) decided to leave and go to a different school which he left for about an hour after lunch yesterday :( I am sad he is gone cause he was a great guy, but I am super proud of him for making the decision he felt was best for him :) It took a lot of courage to go somewhere he felt God wanted him and then after only a week realized God was calling him somewhere else and he obeys...so bravo Sam, even though we will miss him.

Tomorrow we start local outreach, although they haven't told us which groups we will be in yet. All of the options sounded like a lot of fun so I'll be happy wherever they decide to put me. Other than that we are basically just starting to feel what a normal week in YWAM is like. Thus far they have kept us very busy and I see no change in that pace any time soon but I suppose that has its good and bad traits. Luckily since we have weekends free I will use that as my time to unwind. Kari and I are thinking about going castle hunting this weekend so that would be fun. I'm up for anything that doesn't require any seriously deep thinking haha! Ok all I was going to write more, but I got caught up talking with the family and friends on skype and lost all train of thought because I am so sleepy! I will try to write more again soon! Loving and missing you all! Goodnight
