DTS: week 1.

An oval of houses up on a hill, English, Canadians, Albanian, Americans, Egyptian, Salvadorians, and Number 8 and 9.

Basically, this is what our DTS in Harpenden, England January 2013 consists of! It has been an incredible first week, watching God move already by getting all of us students here providing flights and visas. we still have three students who aren't here yet, but they've got their visas and flights and will be arriving soon!

Each morning we had orientation. Learning about YWAM and its values, goals, etc., meeting different people around the base, learning about the flat (or house, we live in Number 9.) and community living, hearing about how we all and why we all came to do DTS here and just enjoying each others company. Tomorrow we are taking a trip into town for the first time to visit around.

This first week of school was quite an adjustment for me. It is the first time going to a base where I am not staff, or in charge of something (or someone, haha! nannying...) but rather being a student, and just enjoying this time and as much work as it will be, it is a break for me. A time set aside for me to completely and 100% bask in the glory of God and his love.

God has provided such an amazing amount of my finances. I have paid $2000, but still am in need of raising $3000 more, and I need $800 in 6 weeks. Please be praying that the Lord provides this (which I know He will) and possibly considering helping me in spreading the word on this side of the world!

Blessings!
With love, Rae
