This week we are studying Relationships and Identity. Our teacher, Mark Parker, is very surprising :-) just sitting and chatting with him he seems fairly quiet and reserved, but when he stands up to start teaching... WOW. He's got some lungs on him. He likes to hop around the stage and shout and sing, and do all kinds of crazy things :-) At first I thought I would get frustrated with his crazy style, but as the day went on yesterday I learned to really like his teaching style. He is just so real and enthusiastic about his topic. The teaching is really good, but it's pretty overwhelming. He says SO much in every lecture, you don't have time to soak any of it up. I feel like I won't really get this week all the way until next week when I get a chance to read back all of my notes. There is just SO much content.
Sometime in the next couple of days we will be finding out our outreach teams and locations!! Ahh, so nervous! We are all sitting on the edge of our seat, waiting for the moment to come...
Yesterday evening we were informed that all the girls had to come down to reception at 6:50 in the morning. I have to admit, there was quite a bit of grumbling amongst us, even though we knew whatever the reason was, it would be good. It's just that none of us are morning people.
Anyhow, we came down this morning (some still in our pajamas :-) ) and found that the boys had all gotten up even earlier, and made us a lovely breakfast. They were so sweet, walking around the tables serving tea and pancakes :-) They even performed their own beautiful version of You Raise Me Up for us. Some of the girls said it was their best Valentine's ever :-) Sooo sweet. Our DTS boys (and staff. and guest speaker.) are awesome.
Oh my, oh my. How the time passes.
