Snowboarding DTS 2011 has begun! There are 6 students and 2 Staff. Meri-Tuulia, Jesse, Lauri and Martina are the students from Finland. While Bendert is from Holland, and Kevin from the US. Leea and Liz are our staff, with Erik being our leader. We began last Friday, the 14th, by looking at the overview of the school, and the many things in store. We also played a game of football/handball/random rules, in the meter of snow outside. It was a lot of work, but fun and gave us time to bond/get to know one another. Saturday we went over more of the basic DTS things, as well as played a few more games outside. Including one where we randomly stood on a balance log, and then had to crawl over each other in order to get in position according to height. We continued into the night with a few games of Assi, and playing some music together. We got to go into the sauna for the first time, which for us non-Finns was a great experience. Sunday morning we went to Church, where there was a guest German Speaker, who was translated to Finnish, and then English for a few of us. After Church we went back, and later that night had cake and celebrated Clarita's Birthday. We got to ask her a few questions about her childhood, as well as her asking us all various questions. We finished the night with a movie. Monday morning started off early with our first morning exercise at 7. We had our first whole-base prayer/worship session, and then started our first lectures. This weeks lectures are by Kimmo Sarajarvi, and they are about the Nature and Character of God. Today, he gave us examples of all of God's natures, and how he is Creator, Infinite, Eternal, Sovereign, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Unchanging and Holy. We went into depth about what Holy is, and received many scriptures about each nature.
