Day what?

Been at YWAM for about two weeks now. I have learned so much and have been eating up every little thing. Speaking of eating, it is really strange to eat more than once a day, but I am getting better at it. I have one girl who is almost mothering me into submission at meal-times, in a nice loving way of course. haha She is from Texas too. Well, there is actually three of us totally and we are from relatively the same area! I am learning so much here and am experiencing community like never before as the boys and girls dorms are in the same building. I have the best work duty/community responsibility ever. And the greatest team to do it with. I am on the janitorial staff and it is so great worship the Lord while cleaning the boys' bathroom with Marlo. She and I sing so off key everyone wants us to just be quiet, but why should we? He is enthroned upon our praises! Even if we are in the bathroom! We found out our outreach locations and by Tuesday of next week we will know our teams! So exciting! One thing the Lord has been teaching me this week is joyful surrender. This has been in my personal quiet time. So as of yesterday, I am single and a little bruised, but I know my God is good. So good. And so jealous as Raique was an idol in my life. I know that He has it all under control. And I know that He knows what He is doing. I am excited about things to come. Time for me to get other stuff done.

Madison, WI

I arrived last night at the base. We were all exhausted, yet some how still trucking along. We received a nice welcome and a nice little tour of the base. Then we just hung out. It was so nice to get to know some of the girls and DTS leaders. I think I might have been most nervous about meeting the leaders and I am still nervous about meeting my one-on-one. I have met most of the leaders, but we don't have a one-on-one yet. Or at least we have not been told who we have. Tonight is a welcome dinner and meeting all the other students who have come in during the time we are in town. The base feels like home already and I am super happy about that. I was scared it would not. And that we would not mold into a family, but most of the girls have been real and honest and so I am excited that we do not have to go through a whole breaking down wall routine. I am so excited for classes to start. I feel like such a nerd saying that, but it is true. I am excited to start learning new things and doing new things...like stepping out of my boxes. Some of the girls and I were talking to the leaders and they were saying my DTS was allowed to join the Rescue Ops DTS in morning workouts so more than likely I will be doing that. I need other people to push me at the moment because I am so bad about it now. Ha. For anyone wanting to send me mail or if you want to donate to my outreach (tax-deductable!) the address is: N1707 County Highway N Columbus, WI 53925 If you are writing a check you can either place my name or YWAM Madison on the envelope, but put YWAM on the check. Also place a little side note saying "Maya Lanciault 2012 DTS outreach". This way it will go into my fund and not anyone else's. Thank you so much!
