Hey everyone!! It is currently Wednesday over here (and Tuesday over there) so as my dad would say, you are "reading into the future!!"
I got here safe and sound on saturday and have been slowly catching up on sleep since. It is so beautiful, everytime you look around something takes your breath away.
The last couple of days have been absolutely amazing! On Sunday we went to a Baptist church that was a pretty far cry to the churches at home. It was awesome to see how people from all over the world worship God. Then on Monday, it was our first official day as DTSers. But mostly we just had classes goinng over administrative stuff. Yesterday we hadtwo sessions in the morning, the first anout hearing God's voice, and the second was about the basics of being a christian. Already on the first day I was pushed and amazed by what was taught. I am so looking forward to more classes!!
The people here are all so crazy amazing too! In my DTS we have about 24 stdents and 6 staff. Last night we shared our testimonies and just the stories and things that the fellow believers hadmto overcome was so inspiring. I dont think I have met anyone who hasnt gotten along. Other than my school, we also have a Backpackers DTS with another 20ish students, and a Climbers DTS with 3 students. About half of our classes will be spent all together, and the other half just with our school.
The base here is also great. I am rooming with 4 other girls, and we all get along great!! Next to our house is the dining hall and the classrooms so we dont have very far to walk.
And now I will need to cut this short because quiet time is over and the day is about to begin!! Thank you once again for all of you and the support that I feel so much over here. I'll make sure to post in here as much as I have time!
Sounds like things are going well, Kelsey! That's awesome! Prayers for you as you continue to serve in New Zealand! Blessings!
