Sunshine and Daffodils

Alrighty everyone bare with me because this might not make a whole lot of sense..

This week has been a week of orientation, we've had classes on what worship is, what devotions are, on hear God's voice, and what bible study is all Key classes that we need to begin with in order to carry on throughout the rest of the DTS. I really enjoyed the lecture on Devotion, it was super awesome and straight to the heart!

The weather this week has been quite chilly, except for yesterday... For the majority of the week we were bundle up, wearing layers, mitts, and toques! Everyone here seems to get a kick out of the words "toques" and "bunny hugs" maybe its because Matt and I are the only ones from Saskatchewan. Yesterday on the other hand was beautiful! Lots of sunshine and heat! I think it got to be like 23C maybe? It was sure warm! SO we put some sunscreen on, headed out on a walk to find the Tulip field, which ended up to be a HUGE garden of mostly daffodils, and had some tulips in it. However we didn't enter the garden because there we're signs about dogs... my favorite was "Beware of dogs, Do not leave your vehicle!" after that we headed back for supper and some fabulous slack lining and Frisbee! 

Well, there are 9 girls, 11 boys, 4 girl leaders, and 5 boy leaders. and yup, I do know everyones names! I live in an old school house called the Main House, on the lower level its the student lounge with a computer area, and on the upper level is where us girls live. I share a room with three other girls, all of them from the states! There's Laurie from Montana, Mary-Loyd from Louisiana, and Malory from Oregon. Mary Loyd has the coolest accent! My roomies are so awesome and a lot of fun so it's a great combination! Our room is decently large, with a lot of space to put our stuff, so we don't feel cramped at all.

This weekend we are going to Castle Hill, which I think is on the mountains behind our base so it's quite close. I'm super excited to go! As well as tomorrow we are heading into Christchurch to do Friday night Evangelism! Everything is so new and so exciting!

However I'm running out of time to keep typing, I have class in about 5 minutes so I should probably head out. I'll most likely give you guys another post after this weekend when I have more exciting stories to tell you about.

Thanks for all the Prayers!
Much Love!
