butterflies day (1)

muse always gives me an epic song before i write. not always... but when it happens it makes me feel epic. like if its knights of cydonia or butterflies and hurricanes. today was the final lecture with claude hickman and todd ahrend... it was a really solid day. claude talked more about goers, givers, prayers, welcomers and senders. really the missionary calling is these five basic (b b b b b basic but solid) pillars... all of which could be the focus of any which day and could change at any moment depending on the situation you are in. just gotta be open... but yeah. we talked about what exactly we would even say to people back home when they inevitably ask 'how was dts?!' without just the usual 'oh it was pretty good..' (honestly if you are gonna ask me i'm either gonna write you an essay or were gonna have coffee or were gonna have coffee and i'm gonna read you an essay i wrote (but not really... really just ask an i'll tell you))

the fast was good... most of us decided that we had figured out which pastor we were gonna go with. a few of us were (not apathetic... but willing) undecided on where to go, and just stated that anywhere we were placed we were happy with. last night we were interceding for each other and just little things (surprise surprise tyler! flip.) kept pushing me to one of the names.... dont' even wanna say because i also wrote that honestly it did not matter where i went. i would be happy and trusting with whatever... i'm kinda hoping i don't end up where i felt i was supposed to go, but then mebe there is a chance for character building there. well.. undoubtedly there will be regardless but moreso..

pastor michael (laukota)
pastor jare (laukota)
pastor vulu (suva)

the staff are gonna pray about it tonight and see how it goes. they are pretty sure they knew, so we'll see if it lined up. all's well that ends well with prayer. john-mark and nik and i took the 3-5am shift last night as well (jik an jam took 2am as well) but we really didn't pray much cuz of the previous prayer pow-wow at 11 when we interceded for each other... but tonight OH tonight were gonna stay up all night praying and worshiping and hopefully celebrating.. we also go to hamilton for some ministry as well tonight, so were up for a solid night. then tomorrow is a dance party. chyess....
