Kona

So, wow, I just spent the week in Kona for a big DTS conference. It was called the gathering and it's where all the DTS's from the Hawaiian Islands come together, it was crazy to see how many people, just in Hawaii are doing this right now! But ya, I definatly learned a whole lot this week, it was pretty cool. I realized how much I have changed over the past couple of years, alot of the conference was really like, alter-call centered, and i just realized how much my relationship with Jesus has become so much more intimate. So that was cool to see how much I have grown over the past little while. I would love to hear from everyone though, please just send me an email or if you want you can ask me any random question, just cause I don't want to go into huge detail on this blog! So I hear that there's alot of snow back home, thats hilarious, just check out some of my pictures on facebook, and you will get a nice warm feeling inside from all my sunset pics!!!

One month Down

hey all... or as alot of my friends here say it: ya'll,
so first i need to apologize because i am so horrible at keeping people posted and everything. so i am very sorry, pray that God would teach me how to be better at that!! so i have just finished a media fast that i did for the past week, which i will count as one of the main factors that i haven't been staying in touch. the past couple of weeks have been really crazy! well we have gone into lecture phase which means we basically have a different speaker every week. the first week was a woman named maria, and she spoke about hearing God's voice, that was kind of hard for me because i started to second guess myself if i ever really heard God's voice. the second week the speaker was hamilton's own dave overholt! yes yes, a man that i have heard speak at camp for the past 4 or 5 years came to maui to speak at me DTS, hilarious. he spoke about our identity in Christ, it was awesome. last week was a hardcore local guy named waxer, he spoke about basica christianity and it was really cool because i prayed that God would teach me new things and spice up what my preconceptions were of him and he totally did! it was sooo cool! this week there is a guy speaking on the Holy Spirit, his name is jesse padjet, another JBC speaker of the past, definatly before my time. but ya, he's pretty intense sometimes the way he talks about things i get a little offended by cause he like swears or makes fun of people or something but i really have just been challenged to listen to him and what he's talking about insted of how he is saying it, and i totally agree with alot of what he's saying! i am a little nervous though just cause i haven't ever really had like a crazy experience with the Holy Spirit and up until today we have just been talking about it and like having sort of history lessons on ways that the Holy Spirit has worked through out all of time. it's so cool, but tomorrow we are going to be doing more like practical things so i am getting nervous/excited. i want to see what the Holy Spirit could do through me or teach me, but at the same time i am just nervous cause i have no clue what might happen!'
our school is going over to Kona on sunday which is really exciting! there is going ot be a huge conference sort of thing for all the hawaiian DTS's for the week, so that should be pretty fun! definatly send me an email or post a comment on my myspace or facebook if there is anything exciting going on at home or if there is something that i can pray for you for!! after a month of being home i am definatly starting to miss some of the regular things!! talk toyou later!
