Full of life and color!

These past few weeks staffing the Discipleship Training School (DTS) have been amazing, we both love it! I (Sarah) have 5 girls in my small group..their names are Amanda, Lacey, Jerica, Erin & Casey. Ryan has 4 guys in his small group, Vince, Mike, Jono & Michael. Besides having to be in class every day we have small group once a week so the students can process the class time and get deep and have fun together! We are there for our small group whenever they need us..on call 24/7.

Even though I am done with my School Of Worship (SOW), God has been giving me opportunities to lead worship. We had a 24/7 worship & prayer week a couple weeks into the DTS and I found out that all of my small group girls can either play and instrument or sing or both! So we led worship for an hour and it was amazing. Erin led the intercession (getting Gods heart for what He wants us to pray about.) and felt like we were to pray for freedom from past hurts and things that were keeping people in bondage. The students & staff that came really needed this so we were all thankful that God let us be apart of it!! I also have been slowly starting to dance again (I was a ballerina from about 11till I was 19) because I feel like God is putting that back in my heart..not going pro ;) just a hobby & a way to worship. So during that week me and my friend Lillian led a time of dancing for an hour of worship, it was so great! We also had a drum circle during this time and it was crazy and freeing! we played different kinds of drums and danced and praised God!
This past week we had Spiritual Warfare as our topic and our speaker was very insightful. In previous weeks we have also had teaching such as father heart of God, Holy Spirit, relationships, and forgiveness. This week which is the half way mark to the end of the lecture phase of the school they will be getting a teaching on hearing the voice of God. Please pray for the students that they will understand that God speaks to them all in different ways!

Side note: The base (ywam property) is absolutely full of life and beautiful right now during this fall season! Every time I walk around the property i'm just amazed at His creation. Thanks God!

Please pray for even better time management than we already have as we are busy many hours of the day and when we are not in class or doing one on ones (we have 1:1's with each small group member every week, to pray for them & to discuss how their heart is & process more on class and whatever else they need!) we are grading journals and papers.
Along with that we are keeping up with the 2 cutest boys ever (william & jude.) I am starting to teach william a few basic school type things and teaching him some easier Thai words & numbers..He's doing really well with it even though i think the Thai language is pretty difficult! Jude is starting to talk a lot more and his personality is bursting! He now says hi, night night, ok, mama, dada, nice, bye, thank you...and i'm probably missing a couple. They're both super goofy and loving! We're so stinkin' blessed!! 

Also pray for finances for our up coming outreach in late December to Thailand & we are trying to find people that would like to come alongside of us and support us financially with monthly support! Prayer for the plane ride would be fantastic as well along with safety & health for our family & the team!
Thank you all! If any of you have prayer needs please send us a message, we want to support you with prayer as well! Check out some pics below!
