Well, I've done it again....it's been like 20 days since my last post. I don't know what to do to change that though because I've been so busy, and I'm going to be even more so as I get closer to leaving for India.
So, I just had a nice hot shower and a cup of tea, now I'm sitting in the living room surrounded by people doing their homework and listening to my friend Emily play guitar and sing :)
We did our Thanksgiving outreach this afternoon. We gave away over 200 Thanksgiving dinner boxes and turkeys! It was so wonderful to surprise people with that and just bless them!
We spent a week in Orlando, Florida for a conference and we celebrated the 50th year of YWAM! There were about 400 other YWAMers camping out with us. It was a great time of team bonding and getting to know some other YWAMers :) And I got to meet Loren and Darlene Cunningham, the peole who started YWAM!
We bought our plane tickets this past week! We leave on December 31st and come back to the states on March 7th. We also found out what teams we're going to be splitting up into....it was bitter-sweet. My team has 11 students and two staff. It's going to be good to be able to bond more with such a smaller group, but I sure am going to miss my 10 friends on the other team.
We're all starting to get excited about Thanksgiving! We are having a family dinner on Wed. night, then a bunch of people are going home for the weekend. There are going to be about 7 of us students staying here.
I have to go now, thanks again for praying!

Okay, I really need to get better about updating this thing because there's just way too much to catch up on after waiting so long. I'll do my best to remember whats happened.....
So, on Thursday Oct. 21st at RESET, one of the DTS students named Cassie, shared her testimony and afterwards they said to come forward if you want prayer. For some reason I felt like I needed to go get prayed for but I didn't know exactly what for....a couple min. later Chris said to come forward if you need physical healing, as soon as he said that I knew that I needed to get my leg prayed for (my right leg was shorter than my left one and it caused back problems and stuff), so I told Alyssa and we went out in the hall where Cassie was praying for someone else (part of Cassie's testimony is that her leg grew just a couple months ago, so I felt that God wanted me to go to her for prayer). So, Alyssa and I run out to the hall and they start praying for me.....I don't know what to say, all I know is God healed me! My leg grew!!!! Isn't that amazing?!?!? God is so good! 16 of us were physically healed that night.
God has been doing so much in my heart,and really getting to the roots of some things. It's been good but slightly painful.
Our speaker this week has been talking about pride and an "Excellent Attitude". It's been really good.
We are buying our tickets this weekend,so I should be finding out my outreach group and where we are going in India, very soon!
Please pray that I'll have an open heart to receive whatever God has for me and that I'll be able to build more good friendships. Thank you for reading, and for your prayers! God bless you
