Hello Everyone!
I am currently writing this on Microsoft word because it has been snowing like crazy all day today and the power decided to go out the second I brought down my computer to write to you all! No fair! While the snow is beautiful there is a powerful wind behind it…and me being the brilliant thinker that I am decided that it would be a good idea to walk into the village to get some money and some food from the Co-Operative since I have a few hours of free time before local outreach tonight. I will never do that again in this kind of weather haha! By the time I got back to the base my shoes, wool socks, cuddle duds, pants, jacket, scarf, and gloves were soaking wet! When I walked in Allison saw me and her eyes did something like…O.O lol! So bad plan on my part…although I did accomplish my mission in getting money and food
Ok! So other than my adventures today here is what has been going on around here. Last Friday the October 2009 DTS arrived from their outreach in Istanbul, Turkey. They will be here for the next 2 ½ weeks, which will then mark the completion of their DTS…so Yay for them That Friday some of the girls from my DTS and a group of their DTS went out to the Hydro where they were doing karaoke night. Some people sang and all of us danced like idiots while they were singing haha so that was a lot of fun! Last weekend was quite lazy for me, which was actually much needed! Our previous week of lectures was quite intense learning about the Holy Spirit and had left me with a somewhat burnt out feeling. I pretty much just hung out around the base and the village with some of the October DTS students which was a lot of fun. They have so many good stories and are just awesome people. Sunday night we actually had quite the extreme game of Uno…but played with Swedish rules which are far too confusing to even begin to explain (half the time I didn’t even know who’s turn it was lol).
Monday we started with a new guest lecturer named Ina from South Africa. She is here to talk to us about Sin and the Cross. I was very nervous going into this week because just the sound of it sounds intense! I am so happy to say that so far I have really enjoyed this week and have been learning a lot about God and about me Tomorrow is our last day of lectures for the week because Friday is something called our “day away”. The staff is doing an excellent job about keeping what we are going to do that day a secret so after Friday I will let you all know what our “day away” consists of…although I do know it has something to do with taking us out and showing us more of Scotland.
Well that is pretty much everything as of now…if any of you want to know something about my experience here so far that I am not addressing please feel free to write me and ask Although for the next 2 ½ weeks it will be a little bit hard for me to write much since the October DTS people number at around 17 not including staff so the computers are somewhat difficult to get to since they have been out of touch with their families for so long. I love and miss all of you so much…as per usual haha and I will let you know what is going on around here again as soon as I can. God bless!

P.S. One of the DTS staff members, Vincent, is leaving for good tomorrow He is going back home to Nigeria because there is something like a civil war going on in his home town of Jos and some of his family members and friends have been killed due to it. If you could, would you please pray for him and his family because apparently more of his family is in danger of being hurt or killed and Vincent is going to be walking right into it. Please pray for protection and wisdom for Vincent and his family while they are dealing with what is happening in Nigeria. Thanks.
