I'm here, and it's awesome.

Wow, so Florida. It's awesome, crazy, wonderful, deep, fun, hard, tiring, inspiring, and energizing. All the people that I am down here with are awesome too. It's incredible to see how God got us here. For all of us, it's almost always the same story-we really weren't sure if we wanted to or not, not even sure if we could come because of finances. But God was calling us. He got every one of us here. From Latvia, Jamaica, Finland, and all across the U.S. I know for sure that this is exactly where I am meant to be right now, and that God has a purpose for me and for everyone here through this DTS. There is nothing like knowing that you are in God's will. Nothing like it on earth. I am so pumped about everything we are doing here to. We have intense worship and intercession, small groups, and we do work for YWAM and all their stuff here-called community responsibilities (I am on the jack of all traits crew, and we are doing drywall, mudding, taping, and sanding right now. But today is my day off.) Joe and I are the main two right now working on the maintenance crew. My housemates, all 6 of them, are awesome, and I'll be putting up pictures up here as soon as John (another housemate) gets back over to the library I am at after his CR with his computer. The girls that live on our street (Jon Jon) are awesome too! In total there are 11 guys and 24 girls. They are like a family already.

We also have a guest teacher right now teaching on hearing the voice of God and on intercession. It is crazy intense. It's been three days and I am already learning so many awesome things and hearing tons of INCREDIBLE stories. God is so awesome!
We have had a few fun nights all ready and my house has been established as the place to be. Jake and Joe from the Chicago area drove down an Excursion that fits about 10 comfortable, but that fits 15 or so when needed. It gets 10.6 miles to the gallon. There's a random fact for you. The rooms are tight, but comfortable, and it's fun because I like all the people I live with. I'll be putting up a lot of pictures on Facebook, as well as a few here in a little while.
I have been crazy busy, what with all this learning and writing and getting settled and getting to know everyone. Plus these lame library folk weren't given us cards so we couldn't get Internet access until I put on a little bit of the ol' charm. Then we got are Internet. So I will write to some of you soon, but you can feel free to write me at:
