Hiiiiiiiiii!! I’m so glad to be sending out another update to you all! How is everyone?? It’s been such a joy to be able to catch up with so many people since being back and hear about all the exciting things happening in everyone’s lives :) I have been back home now for about a month and a half (which is crazy!!) and it has been a time of figuring a lot of things out and transitioning back into something so different than what things were like when I was away. But I’ve also

Hi!!! Welcome to my last official update from DTS ☹️. I really cannot express how much it means to me to have you all supporting me and just taking interest in what I am doing with God! I am so excited to share all about the last part of my outreach with you all!! My time in PNG took on three parts: one part in Port Moresby, one part in Western Province doing medical ship ministry, and the last part in Tuberseria, a village in Central Province. After the ship outreach and spe

Hello everyone!!!! I’m so happy to be writing this from Papua New Guinea!!! We have spent the last 10 days in Port Moresby at Foursquare Church, and it’s been such a good time! They have a health clinic here and we’ve been serving at it each day! We’ve been doing all sorts of things here. In addition to the health stuff, we’ve been doing devotionals with the staff and patients and just interacting with people and praying with them. It’s been so fun to get to know the clinic

Helloooooooooooooo, how is everyone??? I’ve been good! Really good! The past week has been so full, and I feel like there is a lot happening all at once but all really awesome things! We have started our final week of lectures (the speaker is amazing and really challenging us to think deeply) - so crazy, it feels like we just started! This also means it’s our last week in Townsville for now. Our cohort is all together for only a few more days! It’s going to be so hard to spli

Check out the video update here! Update 12! Some highlights I forgot 🫣 The Norway team made us cinnamon rolls on New Year’s Day!! So kind of them, and sooooooo good! We had a night where together with the Norway team, we just learned PNG songs and it was actually the best night ever. I learned how to test people for malaria!! 🦟🩸🫡 Happy New Year! “But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him thro

I missed home over the holidays, but thankful to experience Christmas in such a special way! It’s been such an amazing week!!! On Christmas Eve, the whole campus came together for breakfast and lunch! We opened stockings all together, filled by one another which was the absolute sweetest! We did secret Santa, shared traditions, worshiped, and just had a great time

Hi everyone!!! What a fun and exciting time of year! I cannot believe it’s almost Christmas and a new year! It just keeps getting hotter and hotter here so it really doesn’t feel like Christmas, but I’ve been really enjoying all of the festivities and traditions in Australia and on our YWAM base! This past week was fully outreach!! Our main “outreach” was Stable as well as things around our campus. Stable ran its event from last Thursday to this past Monday with “bump in” (lo

Hi! I’m so excited to share some more fun things with you all! But I also have a little more information about the things coming up! LOTS AND LOTS of details are still being worked out, but this is what I know now! For our first outreach beginning this upcoming Sunday, my team is serving at an event called Stable! It is an interactive Christmas experience for the community. Every single church in Townsville supports it and comes together to make the event happen (which is so

Hellooooooooooooo happy December!!!! I pray you are all doing well!! I’m doing great!

The second part is outreach - being sent out!! Our outreach will be split up i

Hi hi!!! How is everyone?? I’m doing so well!! This past has genuinely been so amazing and I’m so excited to share so many highlights with you all!! The past few days have been very long and full (including one 8am-1am day 🤣🤣). We finished up with Lordship and are now onto missions for this week’s main topic! Time outside of the classroom has been full of so many good moments as well, so enjoy this short update but long list of highlights!! Highlights 🤌🤌🤌 There were lots

Hellooooooo!!! I have officially been here for over a month 😅 which is soooo crazy!! I’m just so grateful to be where I am, learning and doing what I absolutely love!! THE LORD IS SO GOOD, check Him out if you’re curious 😉. We wrapped up identity week and have moved into our week on lordship. Both have been absolutely wild and the speakers we’ve had have been amazing! I love being challenged and pushed to grow, so I’ve been having a great time 🤣. It’s starting to get hot

Another week ✅!! It was such a good week! We wrapped up our lectures on the nature & character of God (so good!) and started this week on identity! There’s been so much fruit from these lectures and I am pumped to experience all that is to come! I am honestly just feeling so tired because there have been so many amazing moments and things happening! I have really been holding onto all the moments of rest I have! It’s also been such a joy to feel more and more comfortable her

Ahhhhh hiiiiiiiiii!! The past week has been soooo good! We finished up our first full week of lectures on foundations and have started this week on the nature and character of God! We have also had the opportunity to hear from so many speakers on other topics in between - it’s just all been so amazing! This past week was probably the busiest so far, but with all good things! I’ve been challenged in new ways, invited to learn new things and grow in old ones, and just able to

I am so happy to have made it through the first full week of my DTS!!! It was such an amazing week of hearing from so many wonderful speakers and really getting to know everyone in my cohort and around campus. We officially have everyone in my cohort here now in Townsville! This past week was all about really intentionally seeking the Lord for me, knowing that He is doing the same towards me as well. Great lectures allowed for great conversations with others which allowed me

I made it! I am officially a DTS student at YWAM in Townsville, Australia! I am thankful that all of my flights, though long, went very smoothly. I was also able to meet up with many others in my group while on my journey, which was so fun! I arrived on the campus on Saturday afternoon and it has been nothing but an adventure so far! I’ve had lots of orientation-type sessions and events but also plenty of time to get settled, explore the beautiful campus and surrounding area,
