Last week of Lectures

This week has come and gone so fast! I have been busy with outreach prep, commissioning night, and lectures. Monday and Tuesday were spent preparing for commissioning night (a time that YWAM Thailand and Ark send us out on outreach through prayer and support-basically like a sending out party). The DTS students prepared a skit for the event and it had to be one of the best skits ever! Wednesday, right after lectures, Oy, Shaneen, Kayla, Andi and I headed to downtown Bangkok to get our JE vaccination at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases. It was actually a fun outing and it was awesome getting to see Victory Square.

After getting home we had about 30 minutes until we had to head to Commissioning night. The Music DTS did worship, we performed our skit (our skit was a knock off of '12 Days of Christmas' saying 'On the first week of DTS we made some memories'), a couple of testimonies, Nicole (co-director of ARK) gave a message, and YWAM and ARK prayed over our team.

Thursday was our last day of lectures in our classroom :( It is SO weird being done! It was our application day. During the week we talked about Submission and Authority. Our speaker was fantastic! She talked about how the spheres of society (individual, family, church, government, and economics) function, what their responsibilities are, and what happens if they are abused. But on Thursday we focused on pride. We spent the application time confessing our pride, forgiving those who had abused their authority in our lives, or asked for forgiveness for the way we treated our authorities. I did not realize how prideful I am and while it was scary to confess I couldn't wait to get lay all that before God. God has already been showing me how much He blesses those who humble themselves; it overwhelms me how good God is!

Later that day we went to the mall to get outreach supplies. Val and I were in charge of getting medical supplies. We ate dinner at Sizzlers haha. Today we practiced our "cultural" dance that we are performing at the Nations to Nations conference in Cambodia. After that we deep cleaned the house and packed up our rooms and our bag for Cambodia. It is so weird to pack everything but not go home.

We leave for Cambodia at 6am tomorrow! We will be at the Nations and Nations conference the first week and then will be there for 2 weeks of outreach. I am not sure what we are doing there yet but I have heard something about helping build a café.

Please be keeping me and my team in your prayers!
