The speaker for this past week was Peter Iliyn.  He has one of the top leadership roles for North America. YWAM.  The topic was a lifestyle of repentance.   He told a lot of crazy stories about him, his dad, or people he knows.  They were inspiring.  Peter gave us a lot of information and I am still processing lots of it and learning how it effects my life, but what I took out of the week was:

- you need to truly understand what sin is in order to recognize the need for a relationship with God. Sin is self-centered living.

- Hell is the absolute absence of God.  

- Sin is your biggest enemy not Satan.  

- the importance of repentance and confession.

- and a lot more stuff.  A lot to process.

Some other notable things about the week.  There has been a lot of people getting sick recently at the base, especially my fellow DTS classmates.  There is 5 or 6 of us in a room so germs are easily spread.  Pray that sickness wont be a barrier, preventing us from learning and growing.  Also, I still need some more money for outreach.  If you would like to donate and know how to it would be awesome if you could.  if you want to donate and dont know how email me at elliodo803@gmail.com.  One thing that I wanted from God when i entered the DTS was some guidance about what he wants for my future.  I feel like I am getting glimpses of what he wants me to do and what would really fulfill me.

Things to pray for:

- unity for our DTS group

- guidance for myself, my future, my DTS, and our out reach locations.  There is still a lot of planning that needs to be done with the outreach locations.

- health

- that our minds, eyes, and hearts will be opened to how God is moving 

- and anything else you can think of lol.

Thanks for looking at my blog whoever you are lol.  I plan on posting pictures soon so be on the look out for that sometime this coming week.
