Friday

So change of plans for Hong Kong since funds aren't coming in: We will be going to Australia!! We will do some performances there and try to fundraise and if enough money comes in than they will also take a team from Australia to Hong Kong. Play it by ear and listen to God's voice!! Im excited to see Australia but more importantly Im excited that more people might be able to go!

I have decided to commit to staying on as a DTS staff for next school year (Lord please provides the funds), meaning I would stay another five months and help staff the next school. Now that Malakai, my leader knows Im most likely committing to another school he feels a bit freer to share some of the ins and outs of the base and also his own leadership so its been good to support each other on that level and not just student/leader. I think I could contribute in the interpersonal/counseling/sheparding area. Plus I am going to get the benefit of sitting in on classes again!! For now must focus on our outreach time. The next few weeks will be learning to songs, skits etc... practicing testimonies and all that jazz. Im sure even with going to Australia some of the Samoan students won't be able to go because their lecture fees aren't paid.

We have a student picnic tomrrow to celebrate the end of classes so will probably have some more pictures to put up next week. Still LOVE it here but miss everyone back home.
Yesterday Ameto, a fellow student, threw a baby lizard on my lap DURING CLASS. We had a nice long discussion about how I can offer forgiveness to him but still need time to trust him again. AHHH!
