WISCONSIN!!!

hiiiii

well here i am on my matress on the floor, with my almost packed suitcases next to me, in a room for 20 girls. so fun. seriously.

today we had team meetings all day and it was so fun! it was a lot of us getting to know eachother and learning about where we're going. im soooo happy. yesterday and this morning i was still kinda getting used to things around here, and remembering how things roll. but now im so happy to be here and feel so comfortable. i missed my base and my friends and my room and everything! i like my team and leaders a lot, which is good cause we're going to be together non-stop for 2 months! yikes! i can already feel one team member (the one i thought) getting on my nerves...she goes on and on in sharing time and half the time i have no idea what shes talking about or understand her cause of her accent. and she always relates everyones sharing back to her and her stories and blah blah blahhhh. but outside of sharing, when i can understand her, she is so nice and fun so i hope its ok.

in other news. i went to a country wal mart in wisconsin! so fun! i got to see all kinds of different people and i wished my mom was with me so we could people watch! it was ridiculous!
i also sat next to a kinda older lady on the plane who kept rocking out to her ipod and it was SO annoying. thats one of my pet peeves. i understamd that u really like ur song, but come on. i slept the entire 4 hr ride! the whole thing! sooo good.

and ive been learning more about where i am going. the hotel we're staying at is going to be kinda nice, i get my own bed and sheets and we have a bathroom with a western toilet and shower and fresh towels! we can also get room service so cheeeeap prices and some american food! but we're also bring some food with us, so i really didnt need to stress as much as i did! our outreach is VERY different compared to other typical outreaches as this is going to be VERY relational. we're going to be doing surveys around the colleges to see what the needs are for the students there so the YWAM base there knows what direction to take with their ministry, but the surveys are kinda more of a jumping off point because we're encouraged more to connect with the people we're talking to and even leave and go grab coffee together or hangout and show Jesus in just being rather then handing out tracks or have super intentional conversations. im excited about this, its a totally new way of doing missions and i think its going to kick. its a totally new way of doing missions for YWAM too, everythings so new! yayyyyy

ok thats enough, i have teaching to prepare and want to email my supporters and have school stuff to look up.

hopefully ill have internet time there! woot!

all my love dear ones.
