Prayer

In class today we learned about prayer and how powerful it really is. Also how we CAN hear from God and he wants to speak to us. We just have to be willing to deal with the things in between us and then ask him. Then we actually have to wait and let there be silence so he is able to answer. It's been really a great topic, and i'm being challenged to re-evaluate my prayer life and get more serious about it and actually listening.
Besides that there's not a whole lot new to report. We've been playing lots of sports which has been great. I found a piano I can get away and play which was such a blessing. God knew i missed it :) Last night was our first Dominican republic field service meeting. There are 7 of us going. It went really well. we just got filled in on some of the background of mercy ships relationship with the place were going to work. We just got back from a barbeque at one of the staff's houses. It was very yummy and lots of fun! tomarrow we are having a silent retreat. We will be going to a park at 9am and staying until 3pm. I'll write later to tell how it went :)
