Weekend Off!

So it is a beautiful Saturday Morning here and Levi Nigh and I are at Blythen's house for our weekend off. They are a family that is connected with other YWAM bases and let YWAMers stay at their house for a short amount of time. We left Friday around 1 o clock and got a ride with 9 other girls from our base who were driving up North too. After being crammed in a 11 seater van we got dropped off at the Blythen's house and unpacked. (Of course us guys had only one backpack for the weekend and the girls had a whole suitcase.) That night we went Possum hunting. It was so much fun. We got 8 possums and 3 Turkeys in about 1 hour. (not bad right?)
Today we probably will go somewhere to swim or something and just hang out. The past week was awesome because we had Jono Turner speaking on the Father Heart of God and I could tell alot of healing happened for alot of the students and staff.

The Holy Spirit

Wow, What an awesome week this has been! We have had teachings on the Holy Spirit by Mel Maloney. He is great I had him pray for me and he really encouraged me and said that I would be set free from something while I am here at YWAM. I keep praying about what he said and am looking forward to see what that is. Tuesday night was amazing! there was a time of ministry near the end of the night and us students had our first experience with seeing some deliverance from demonic spirits. It was a good experience and us guys talked about it later that night. Mel ended his teaching on Thursday and we started going to the UNRELENTING Conference at Taraunga House of Prayer. This conference is awesome, with great worship, and speakers. Today is the last day at UNRELENTING, it should be great! I would love continued prayer for focus/concentration and health. The internet is working again here in Matamata which is good. :) You can always check my facebook for pictures.

A full week!

This week and the last week were quite busy. It has been great though. We had teachings on Identity, Worldview, and Hearing Gods Voice! All of them have been very great! Mandy Hudson the teacher for Hearing Gods voice has been my favorite so far! I have gotten the chance to go to Taranga House of Prayer and it has been great I am planning on going every Friday night! I love it! Sorry that I havent had a chance to update this. The internet is down at the base and I have had to go into town to access the internet at an internet cafe. There will be a newsletter sent out very soon. Dont Worry my good friends! I am having a great time and would like prayer for focus mainly. Thanks
