What has God changed in me during this time???

Well, first of all I want to thank God what He has already done in my life. Iam here it was God's will, not mine. First days I was asking God "Why did you bring me here? What for?" I knew that we will learn about God, missions, etc. but my heart was far from it. I just accepted knowledge for granted. Some of the things I knew already and had some experience. First what we were asked to do is to start our DTS journal that will include our thoughts, what we have learned from the teachers during the weeek, God's character, events of the week, values of YWAM. Here all the topics that we have learned:
-Mercy Ministries
-Team building/Evangelism
-Holiness and the Character of God
-Worship
-Forgivness and clear conscience
-Your calling and Evangelism
-The Father Heart of God
-Missions
-Apologetics
-Worldview
All the lectures included a lot of practice both outside and inside of the base. For me, practical part is a primary thing. Teachers came from different parts of the World. I liked to talk to them on different topics and ask them many questions.:))

My journal also include my testimony and a letter to God! We pass our journal to our leaders and they check it and give some comments or encouragements or advice. It is nice to get candies from them too!!!!:)

During these weeks I have started to work hard on my character especially. We all are not perfect of course and it is very hard to give away all our rights to God in all spheres. Iam working on it now. In my copy-book I have made a special scheme how to work on my character. I choose a quality each week for eaxample love or humility and learn one verse from the Bible and trying to apply it the whole week. Sometimes it is really difficult. But I like when God creates such situations to practice it.:)
I have also learned to work in teams with different people. Sometimes when you have no patience or you are tired, God gives His strength to overcome everything!!! We are all different but we have UNITY! God also tought me to dream! Yes, to have huge dreams and not be afraid of dreaming. I don't know why but I do really have huge dreams in my life. My trust in Him. If it is really His will he will realise them for His glory!!!! We have quite time here every morning! I love this time, when in the silence can be only you in God. Prayer where I have my quite time is my my favourite room.:) I do not know yet what is God preparing me for after DTS, but I am confident that He has something special for me. I am waiting for what He will say to me and where He wants to send me. "I am the Way, the Truth and Life". Nice promise!!!:))

What God's characteistics did God show me?

GOD IS A TEACHER! He is eager to teach us every day something new, revealing Himself in different situations.

GOD IS COMFORT AND SUPPORTER! He understands you and it doesn't matter what mood you have, He is always near and only comforts you without any judgement. He is crying with you and He is laughing with you too!!! This is a great experience!

GOD IS HEALER! God really healed my heart here too from different pains in my heart. It is a great achivement in my life. Only this healing is worth that I came here. God took all my worries and difficulties from my heart. Now I wear a neckless with a cross that always remind me it. Devil doesn't have any power on me. Jesus defeated him.
I am really happy that I am here! Very happy!!! Thank YOU GOD!!!

Something new.....

Here we have a great fun together! Yahoooo!!!!
The other picture was in the Church new Testament. Dasha or student has a Birthaday, so we celebrated it in one cafe in the church!!!

As I promised to tell more. Here it is! We have snow already here and it is really cold too. I wear already winter clothes and shoes. in the room it is also sometimes cold and sometimes it is too stuffy. Perm is located on the river Kama and the population of the city is around 2mln. people. In comparison with our city it is really dirty, but it is very beautiful when the snow is everywhere. In the picture you can see my friend Dasha, she came from St. Petersburg and she has a Birthday today too! Congratulations!!!:)))
In two weeks we are going to Outreach in to Mongolia and China! We will be divided into two teams. Then one team will go to China and Vladivostok, our team will go China. We will spend one month in every country. I think it will be fun! I believe that God has prepared something wonderful for us! In Mongolia we will live in a hostel, in China we will live in a flat! I pray that God will send us people, so that Outreach will not be useless, but very fruitful!!! Pray for this with me too!:)))
We will come back in February and then we will have graduation and then home. to tell the truth i don't want to go home, I would like to go somewhere else, but I don't know yet.Ok, I may come home only for sometime, but I don't want to stay there long.
Oh, I forgot to tell one more funny thing that we have here! MISSION NIGHTS! i love them very much! We are praying for different countries, intercede for them and we preparing for them very hard! Some is responsible for the food, the other is for decoration and some people are for the programme. We have it once every week. This week we will have Mongolia. Interesting???? Yes, I think so too!!!!!!:))))
