So, today was day one of training for my Around the World in 80 Days Discipleship Training School. There are ten of us in this DTS, three guys, seven girls. There are twelve people in the other DTS that will be going through training with our group. There are a total of four schools going on at the same time. We are all mixed together in our dorms. There are three other girls from the ATW DTS in my dorm.
I played a game of volleyball with some of the staff today, after lunch. We had a worship session that was like nothing I had been too before, even at the national youth gathering. From all my pervious youth trips, there were always the people who were just there for friends and the desire to get away from home. Here, everyone wants to be here. Everyone is here to serve God. Everyone wants to sing. Even the little kids from the families who live here were dancing around to the music.
Just thinking about this is only day one is exciting. We'll be here for two months. We will be living with these people until we leave on outreach. Even then, nine other people will be going on the same trip as me.
