Samuel drove with me....
beautiful Colorado....
and the snow came....

This school is going by so quickly, it is unbelievable. We are already through the second month, and things are really looking up. Last week the DTS and I traveled to beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, about one hour north of Denver. Each year our Winter DTS travels all 1300 miles to the YMCA in Estes Park, CO. It took us two days and twenty-three hours on the road to get there, but due to bad weather on the way back, it took us all of three days. Wow! Going to the GO Conference in Colorado was such a blessing. Not only was I challenged in my faith, but I got to catch up with my little brother Cody, who is in the fourth week of his DTS at the Eagle Rock branch of the YWAM Denver campus. It was great to see Cody, and to see how God was using him already. God is so good!

Sorry it took so long to update this. Here are some pictures before the storm hit, that brought us three feet of snow in two days. Enjoy....

The New DTS.... La Nueva Escuela

I want to start this update off with an apology to the faithful followers, for not updating this more often. Already it is the third week of school, going on the fourth week. There are a total of nineteen students, thirteen girls, eight guys. The school is going great, already there has been major breakthroughs in the lives of the students. We had a baptism the second day of the school, and the humility and transparency that is shown from one to another is amazing. God is blessing it so much!
This last week was our reconciliation week. God blessed and honored our openness as we opened up, confessed sin, and prayed with one another. God took our broken lives, pieced them back together, and has blessed us so much in the area of freedom. I cannot wait to see how God continues to use this school!
Please pray for me as I continue to try to bring God's wisdom and love into every situation. Pray that I may lead the students to the feet of Christ, where they can find life and life to the full. Thank you for all your prayers, God truly is meeting them in very real ways.

Quiero comenzar esta actualización fuera con una disculpa a los fieles seguidores, por no actualizar más a menudo. Ya es la tercera semana de la escuela, ir a la cuarta semana. Hay un total de estudiantes de diecinueve años, las niñas trece años, ocho jugadores. La escuela está funcionando de maravilla, ya ha habido avances importantes en la vida de los estudiantes. Hemos tenido un bautismo el segundo día de la escuela, y la humildad y la transparencia que se muestra de uno a otro es impresionante. Dios bendice tanto!
Esta semana pasada fue nuestra semana de la reconciliación. Dios bendijo y honrado a nuestra apertura, sino que abrimos, confesó el pecado, y oró con otros. Dios tomó nuestras vidas rotas, reconstruida de nuevo juntos, y nos ha bendecido tanto en el ámbito de la libertad. No puedo esperar a ver cómo Dios sigue utilizando esta escuela!
Por favor oren por mí como yo seguir para tratar de poner la sabiduría de Dios y el amor en cada situación. Ruego que pueda llevar a los estudiantes a los pies de Cristo, donde pueden encontrar la vida y la vida al máximo. Gracias por todas sus oraciones, Dios realmente está cumpliendo con ellos de manera muy real.
