First Week

I have gotten through the first week of my DTS here without too much of a problem. There has been a lot of bonding time with everyone here through games, testimonies, worship, and a field trip to Boulder, Colorado. It has been quite an experience hearing how individuals have been delivered from strongholds such as drugs & alchohol, demon-possesion, sexual immorality, and even underground crime. God has worked in incredible ways in each of our lives, in order that we may serve Him together. It's been interesting to experience having lunch with a woman from Switzerland, going to church with a crazy Mexican, and enjoying Dairy Queen with a quiet man from Japan.

Good News and Prayer Requests:

To update on the DTS group that was uncertain where their outreach would end up being, it has worked out for them to still go to Thailand. It has been a relief for many students here who where excited about going there and for the staff as their plans can now go forward. Thank you Lord!! Please keep me and several others in prayer as we are battling ailments. I not only am dealing with a cold, but I also had part of my tooth break off while eating my roast beef sandwich last night. Others here have colds, shin splints, muscle cramping, and tiredness. Satan definintely does not want us to accomplish anything and has been increasing his attacks on us. We have been praying against these infirmities and I hope you will join us.

More new stuff:

Some news I am excited about is that 2 people from the DTS to Thailand, have decided to join the ATWDTS (my DTS) and will join us on our travels. I can't wait to see how they will enhance our group.
We are now starting our regular classes this week and we will be learning about the character of God this first week. There already have been some cool things spoken into our group about being difference makers in the world and laying down our rights to our lives so that God may choose what is best for us. Well, my time has run out and it's time to go have supper and then some outreach afterwards.
