Oh How He Loves Us...

Time is flying over here. I feel so close to everyone so it's like I've lived here forever. But at the same time it doesn't feel like I've been gone for two weeks already! I am starting to feel like I'm finding my groove though... which is a blessing. We (the students) find ourselves calling the base "home". hah which makes us laugh.

Lectures are awesome! This week we are studying on "Prayer and Intercession". We've been discussing the different ways God can speak to us, and why sometimes it feels like He doesn't answer us when we pray. I really love how the teachers back up everything they say with scripture. It just makes the teaching even greater. I have almost completely filled my first notebook with notes and we're only in week two, oh my. :)

I'm really enjoying my room. I have the bottom bunk with all my pictures from home on the wall next to me. (bc we moved our bunks against the wall) Elyse, Krystal and I are growing pretty close as room mates. And our first book report was due today. So my room is celebrating and having all the girls over for a party tonight. hah

I found out they have a dance studio here at the base. It's basically just a room with nothing in it.. but a hard floor and mirrors. So I danced around for about 40 minutes this morning in my ballet socks. It was fun. :) I'm planning on doing it regularly.

Random facts:
1.My new nick name is "Gracie-lou" like the girl in the movie "Miss Congeniality"
2.Everyone wears beautiful hats and scarfs all the time here.. so it's given me courage to do the same. lol
3.I've never written so much in my life.
4.I'm not home sick at all. And I mean that in the best sense possible! I miss everyone, but I'm doing better then expected.
