Next day we arrived in our new home for the next 6 months (2 years for chelsea)! That was a very hot overwhelming day for me. People were so nice but I think the biggest thing that hit me was the fact that I was at a different base. I know it sounds dumb but I didn't realize that in a way I would have to be apart of a new family in YWAM (wasn't in Hawaii anymore) so I must say it was very hard for me to step out and truly be myself for the first couple days. But needless to say I got over that and started really seeing this place as my home!
For the first couple days there were a ton of people on base with the october DTS (who were getting ready to go out on outreach) and then all there staff, plus the new January DTS all arriving so it was definitely a full house. It was kind of sad, right when I was getting use to having everyone around more then half the base leaves for outreach. Oh well it gives me a real chance to spend time with the January DTS and do my best to pour into them, I'm also really excited to be able to watch a DTS from the other side. It is such a life changing experience and it will be just so amazing to see God move in all of the lives around me (and also in me).
People here are amazing, i had forgotten what the love of Jesus pouring out of everyone and the boldness of living out his will looks like in people. So amazing and So encouraging.
I have had many amazing conversations with people and so many moments with God that allows his Holy Spirit to be at work. It is still crazy to me how much I lost a hold of this will while I was at home, it was just so easy to live under the radar and not be bold for Christ.
