Aloha!
Being home for Christmas was wonderful. It was great to catch up with family and friends, and I even got the opportunity to speak at several Life Groups (Bible studies)from my church, explaining more of YWAM's mission, along with what God is doing in my life. Woooo! I also had a chance to rest, spend some good times with Jesus and some reading. It helped me feel refreshed and excited about the new school that just started this week! We have 20 students for this DTS and I like them already. =)
I also have a new position on staff, which is in the kitchen department... wooo! I have been in the hospitality department on our base for about a year, so this change of pace is refreshing. So now I help with cooking meals during the day, and will also get the chance to work with the students during their "work duties" Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. This will be one of the chances the kitchen staff can pour into and disciple the students.
What else is new??? Random fact.
It is Winter in Maui, which makes it the rainy season! A fun fact about Maui is that it hardly ever lightnings or thunders here... yet within the past month, stats have shown that there have been over 400 strikes! Just last night most of our base were awakened from their slumber by boisterous thunder and lightning! :D
Thanks for reading! Pictures coming soon.
