Today started with worship, that was so great! A guy named Ben Rogers led worship is was really good! I really enjoyed it. We started session out with getting out journals and talking about the definition of what worship is. The biggest thing we decided was that worship is anything that brings glory to God. You can worship God just by cooking, or cleaning, or working, or training horses, or playing sports, As long as your heart is in the right spot. Worship is an Attitude of heart.
This week the plan is to learn about what it means to be living in community and what it means to love. Well In the middle of our morning session we were interrupted by a emergency phone call. Someone had called the neighborhood place saying that they found a very sick man in one of their houses that they rent out. The man was 64 and had been suffering from an extreme bowel infection (or something of the sort), and was lying on the floor in extreme pain. He was unable to afford an ambulance (being that he was three months under 65 he had to pay close to 500 bucks for it). So Neighborhood place gave us a call to see if we could help him get to the hospital. So we all left the church and went to the coffee shop and prayed for him. Than Adam (the DTS director) took Chris and Brandon to go see if they could get him into the YWAM van and take him to the hospital. The rest of us stayed behind at the coffee shop and prayed for him. It was great just to spend time as a group praying for someone!
After about an hour Adam, Chris and Brandon got back and let us know how he was doing and we told them what we had prayed about. He was able to somewhat walk to the van so they were able to get him to Lacombe hospital. On the way he was just sharing about his cats and how he was concerned they would be hungry so Adam said that we would look after the cats. He also decided that as a group we would give his house a nice cleaning after lunch.
Well As he told us the state of the house we were all expecting the worst, but as it turns out it wasn't as bad as we thought it was. We went in fabreezes blazing (the smell was the worst) holding our breath and opened all the windows and doors. After we had managed the smell and were able to get an idea of what needed to be done we realized that it wasn't so bad (much to our relief
). It needed a good vacuuming, sweeping, the bathrooms were the worst, the kitty liter was a disaster, and there where a couple dishes that needed to be done. So we set to work, it didn't take to long, we fabreezed everything, couches, chairs, bed, we disinfected all the light switches, door handles, garbage can. We got a lot of good laughs and bonded a little as a group. We will go back later this week for the cats and to do some more cleaning. We will continue to pray for him! For healing, for financial provision, salvation. We are excited to see what happens in the future! What a way to learn about what community is! Wow!that pretty much sums up day 2! other than that we had our work duties and then super! Now it is time to hit the sack! Another early morning awaits me! Yipee!
Things That I have learned Today

2. My stomach can handle a lot more than I thought it could
3. God has a funny way of teaching you hands on! It's great!
4. Brandon doesn't like cats
