Week 10- Update

Week 10:

this week was interesting. Our first speaker was speaking on "rejection and acceptance" but it was pretty much more on demons and strongholds than anything else. Wednesday- Friday was supposed to be on Deliverance.. but our speaker's theology was way out of whack and we all started challenging him and asking a lot of questions. He was intimidated and would not let us even finish our questions, he'd just start talking over us. (that was Wednesday) Thursday, was actually one of my favorite days of DTS. Our speaker was "sick" and couldn't come. It was raining so we all just hung out while they set up an alternate plan. I sat on my bed, listened to Simon & Garfunkel and played solitaire. Then we had Break Tea, and sat in the classroom and watched a tape of old soccer games. Then we got to watch video teaching by Floyd Mclung on the Father Heart of God. It was AMAZING. And so wonderful to have "western" teaching. The next day our speaker was still "sick" so we watched Derek Prince videos on deliverance. Which was also with a very heavy emphasis on demons. To give example, with the amount of demons he described, Mary Magdelene was really lucky to only have seven!

Saturday I was cooking.. which was not too bad... we've had major problems with people not showing up to cook when they are supposed to, especially the leaders. For breakfast we had no leader, but Jared is awesome and lead well. Cooking was long.. but not too bad. Sunday was horrible. Tim was cooking, and I felt so sorry for him. The staff person who was supposed to cook with him basically refused, and he was the only one there for quite some time. Then when they made the tea they forgot to put in the sugar, and the tea tasted like charcoal. THen no one showed up for wash up either. Needless to say, we were all up in arms over the whole situation.. because the situation had finally come to a boiling point. We are all sick of having lame leaders... people who say "do as I say, not as I do." and do not lead by example. It has been so frustrating.. but.. God will use even this to refine my (and everyone else's) character.. not by fire.. but with sandpaper.

We also spent the weekend watching Lord of the Rings. Yes, in four evenings, we watched all three extended edition movies! It was quite delightful. And we found a new place to hang out, in the dining hall, since we are no longer allowed to go down to the basketball court after supper... and there is no way to watch a movie in the class room or common room.. and since we are mixed company, we can't watch in a dorm either. Yay for the Kwap House.
