Just Hanging Out

This has been the first week of our actual training and they have been talking about the love of the father.. how our lord wants nothing else from us but just a relationship, us with him.. and we shouldn't just think of him as a lord but some one like a dad.. so that is what our main topic is about this week.. See the lord as my dad.. he wants nothing but the best for me and you and all his children.. we are not done with topic so i´ll write about it when we are done..

For the mean time here are some picture for you to look at.. they are all out of order.. i still have not been able to really understand this website..


Here are some more pictures of the base..



















This Donna and Terry.. They are the directors of the base




Annika and myself.. Most of us were hanging out at downtown Heredia





The Directors had a BBQ for the us

  • Then mondays and friday 8 to 9 we all get together to interceed for whatever is in our heart to interceed for.. usually this is a time to interceed for the nations..
  • Tuesday and Thurdays 8 to 9 we get together to do some exercise
  • Wednesday we have worship from 8 to 9
  • Then from 9 to 12:30 we have classes.. monday thru friday.. with couple of breaks in between.. and everyweek we have someone different teaching us

Now I know that this might be to much information but there is alot of people asking me what have i learned.. so this is just an over view of what I´ve learn.. Which I don´t think it only apply to me cause I´m doing this course but also I think it applys to anybody in general..
So I hope you look into the scriptures.. and really just mediate on them and learn to apply them into our daily lifes..
