Day 3: only day 3?!

Alright. So here's just a little gist of what's going on in my life right now. I am currently going through a Discipleship Training School (from now referenced to at DTS), through Youth With A Mission (aka, YWAM). This school will prepare me to go out into the mission field and disciple the nations. Yay :) I'm at the DTS in Pismo Beach, CA. The breakdown of the school: There's a lecture phase (3 months) and an outreach phase (2 months). The lecture phase is 12 weeks of different speakers coming through and speaking into our lives about different subjects. Some examples would be Hearing God's voice, Grace, Discipleship...etc. The outreach phase will be putting what we learned into practice by going to a third world country and basically, telling people about Jesus. So my school is a bit different than usual because it's a Boarding and Arts school. What this means is we each came to this school with something specific in mind to focus on while we're here. So, for example, my track is music, which falls under the Arts category. In the boarding category there's surfing and skateboarding. It's so cool to be a part of this. :)
      Enough of the boring deets though. So since this is the first week, it's all orientation stuff. I just finished up day 3. I CAN'T believe that this is only day 3. It feels like i've been here so much longer. Along with learning about what we'll be doing this school, today we got to pray about our outreach! So thrilling. :) There's not a decision made by any means yet. But it was super cool to hear about what God's speaking to everyone about. I, personally, feel called to Rwanda, Africa. But God may have completely different plans for me. My heart is already there, but i'm really working on having an open mind and heart about where we're going.
    I know that you all will want to see pictures soon. Please have patience with me and my old computer. She really doesn't like doing anything at this point, so it will take a bit to get pictures downloaded. I will get some posted as soon as i can though. Please continue praying for me as i go through this amazing journey! I know this time will be stretching and sometimes super hard. But i'm so meant to be here. Thanks so much for your support!
Till next time!
Allie.
