here are my lovely small group girls and i having

cucumber picture. you could say it got pretty crazy..

some of us at a youth halloween party!

ooh yea..and my unexpected visitor for two months! boyfriend jake
(in the middle). happy little camper i was =D jaren, his friend
also came for a visit. and then we partied....sept to nov.

i see it time for an update =)

it is soon the end of november...and we havent had snowfall yet. i'm not sure how i feel about it, i guess i'm ready for it being as how the beautiful fall leaves have fallen, and the earth could use some snow. hasn't rained much, however, we had thunder the other night which was exciting.


enough about weather. i have to remember where we left off. the students continue to amaze me. with their upbeat and willing attitudes, new and fun ways of doing things, sure is refreshing to be around. i found all 24 of them in the dining hall one evening with their mattresses on the floor, and the projector screen on the ceiling watching Into The Wild. a fun bunch they are.


teachers so far have been incredible as usual. 2 weeks or so was a teaching called, Plumbline. It helps show you who you've given authority to speak over you in your life. Whether it be lies, truth, or misguidance, everyone has interprated what others say a certain way. This can cause their "plumbline" to sway, and therefore building a crooked and unstable view of themselves. after you realize and come to conclusions of lies you believed, hurts you've received, and truths you've chosen not to believe, you give it all up to God. let Jesus be your Plumbline, and start building from there. if this seems a bit confusing, it is. and like many things can only really be understood if experienced. and i recommend all to look into it. last year, God met and transformed me in such a beautiful way. this year, God is continuing to process revelations i had last year, and deepening them. this is quite uncomfortable, but gladly leads to growth.



this last week of teaching was a favorite for me. possibly ranking top 5 (including the teachers from my dts) topic: worship and intercession. how we learned: we worshipped..and interceded. all week. how fun! had i to choose which topic to have the most hands-on learning technique, it would be this. how i fell in love to worship! freely, with no agenda or time slot. we worshipped through song, soaked, interceded, discussed. the week was the most refreshing cup of water i've ever had! grateful as ever these days for the God of goodness, and faithfulness. i needed that cup, and there He was, pitcher in hand =) tussen takk Pappa!

i think this shall be enough talk for now...next comes pictures! thank you for the prayers and support dear friends. you are highly loved and appreciated.
