So I decided to join the bandwagon and make a blog to keep you all up to date. I didn't think it was that neccesary at first but now that I'll be heading on outreach and wont have much time to be on facebook, or atleast I dont think I will, I figured I'd make a blog so that I could post some stuff to keep you guys as up to date as I can. I really wish I would have started the blog when I first got here so that I could go a bit more in depth on what I've been learning and how each week has been, but oh well, I'll be able to do that for outreach now. I'll also be able to post a ton of pictures, I decided to dust off my camera and start taking some pictures.

I'll give you guys a quick summary of my time here. It's been amazing. I've learned so much not just about God and his character, but also about myself. First and foremost I've never felt this close to God in my life. I feel that right now I have an excellent relationship with God and it's all due to this experience. I've gotten a way better understanding of God's love for us during my time here. Back home I wasn't involved with the church at all and the time here has just been so nice. It's almost like Jesus was this childhood bestfriend I had that I talked to every now and then and since I've been here it's just been like this reunion with Him and I love it. I am so glad I ended up coming here, this is one of the best experiences of my life and it has really reignited the fire in my heart for missions. I cannot wait to see what outreach has in store for me.

A quick word on my finances. I came here without enough money to pay for the school, I came with the faith that God would provide the calling I felt he gave me. I owe about $769 still for lecture phase and $3,000 for outreach. I need to have this money by... soon. The school is looking to start booking flights in a week. If you could help me with prayer I would greatly appreciate it. If you would like to make a donation to me you can e-mail me at [email protected] or contact me on facebook.

I have the story on how I ended up coming down here to do my DTS up, I'll have my full testimony posted soon.
