Sunday Morning

Hello family, friends and supporters, if you are reading this I would first of all like to thank you for your time and interest in what has been taking place in my life these past months. I have truly been blessed by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and He has called me to take part in a Discipleship Training School with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Los Angeles, California. I flew out of Fargo, North Dakota yesterday and I have finally decided on starting a blog as my means of keeping in touch with all of you. I initially wanted to send out emails but I realized that I had no one’s email which was a bit of a dilemma. Hopefully, this way I can keep everyone in touch with a little more ease and although I know blogs are sometimes impersonal I will still do my very best to send more personal emails as well.

I arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon and was greeted by three of staff leaders from the school. It was funny because the one girl who picked me up recognized my last name and I found out she grew up in Swan River, which I thought was pretty cool. It’s neat to see God subtle fingerprints in little things like that just give you a sense of comfort in knowing that our Creator is looking out for us. I've never been in a city this big where I’ve actually had to drive around and let me tell you for a prairie boy to come to 5 lane freeways where there really is no speed limit was a little scary. Also, being in Los Angeles driving in the night is crazy, the city lights never end, something you don't see in Manitoba that’s for sure. The campus or base here is so beautiful we are surrounded by mountains and horse ranches I don't think there could be a more peaceful place to meet with God than here. It's so nice to sit outside in shorts and sandals again; it was great leaving the -40+ we were having in Manitoba. I've already met a ton of new people and heard there stories about how God brought them here and its truly amazing how He can work to bring people to where He needs them and provide for them.

Today will be a very relaxed day, we will be waiting for more arrivals and then we will all get together at 3:00pm for our registration and kick off. I know this is a short blog, but I will be sure to fill you in with everything that the Lord teaches and shows me in my three months here in Los Angeles. After my three months we will be going to a place of outreach. I'm not sure where that will be, my initial desire is to go to Thailand, but if the Lord has other plans I will follow Him wherever he leads.

I hope you all have a great week and again I thank you for your prayers and support. May the Lord bless you all in all that you do!

Adam
