It's funny how a trip seems shorter the second time you make it. On Sunday those of us from DTS who are going to the Philippines (and our staff) headed back up to Electric Mountain! We got up the mountain just in time for dinner.
Our speaker this week was Peter Warren, one of the directors (and founders) of YWAM Denver. He spoke on Fear of the Lord. I knew this was going to be a challenging week, but it was definitely a beneficial week! Once again, what I was expecting to be taught was not what I received. Peter talked a lot about challenges we may face as we go through life and how having fear of the Lord, rather than fear of man can help us make it through that. The way he taught was incredibly organized and because of that, it is really easy to look through and see the various points he touched on.
Because Peter had to leave on Wednesday, our schedule was very different from any other week- including a night class on Monday. It was nice, in a way, to have our schedule so mixed up because so often we simply get stuck and forget that there is so much more outside of what we try to plan.
We got to do a lot of random things throughout the week. On Wednesday, we got to go to the reservoir and have a bonfire. On Thursday, we got to go to the closest town, Paonia, which was about a 45 minute drive out on the gravel road. In Paonia, we got to go to a local ice cream shop- it was delicious! Because it was one of our group's birthday, we had cake outside and with the leftovers, we offered it to people walking by. It was fun to see their reactions and have mini conversations with random people on the street.
On Friday, we made our way back to Arvada. It's always nice to come back to base! It's sad to not have the other half of our DTS but I'm looking forward to getting to grow as an outreach team before we leave in just two weeks!
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support!
God bless!
