It is Saturday afternoon and boy has it already been an eventful day. Today is family day for our DTS so we started the day with fun wet games to compensate for the heat. We played water balloon Volley ball and my team won the tournament undefeated. It was sick. As for the whole week I learned so much but still feel like I have an eternity to learn about relationships. In lecture we talked about friendships; who should be our close friends, is it okay to have certain friendship, how do you mend a broken friendship. We also talked about relationships with parents; that its's good to have peace, forgiveness, and love toward them under all conditions. And of course we talked about romantic relationships. After learning all of this it taught me many things One, I can stand to treat my family with a lot better care. Two, I have some insecurities in some relationships that I have to work through. And three, when my relationship with Christ is healthy and my pursuit of Him is consistent, He will remain faithful to mend and fix any relationship or insecurity I have. "Physical beauty is very low in comparison to fearing the Lord." Aside from lectures, this week has been very eventful. My Thailand team had our weekly meeting and we took the love language tests. My top two were quality time and gift receiving. It was so interesting to see the difference in the ways everyone receives love. I look forward to living with them and learning how to give love in all five different ways. Also, three other friends and I took five days to just dig deeper in the word every day at lunch as well as refrain from makeup. In these five days it taught me two significant things. One. I don't see the world or the word the same as other people and because of that I get more out of the word when I read it in community. Two. I learned that the value of physical beauty is very low in the comparison to fearing the Lord. Overall, it's been one month since I've been here and yes I am missing all my loved ones. If you are reading this, send my love to my Arizona family and California family. Ways you can be praying for me is God's peace. As I get further into this DTS and begin to get challenged more, I find myself trying to do it on my own. Only God can grow me and change the areas I need to be changed in. Also, I owe $3200 dollars for the remainder of my time here and in Thailand. So please being praying for God's provision and if you would like to give simply press the "click to support" button. Again the pictures from this week will be on facebook so check them out if you'd like. Thanks so much for reading and keeping me in your prayers.
