That was yesterday morning, but by the evening - after a full day of orientation activities and getting to know each other better - we felt as if we'd been together for a week and not for only one day!
Today we launched into some of the LDC's teaching topics about spiritual leadership, and that will continue throughout the week as we consider how our different personality types and giftings have an influence on the way we lead and work in team. On Thursday morning, we'll be inviting all our international guests to join us in a special time of intercessory prayer for the nation of Spain.
A number of changes lie ahead for me this week: tomorrow my housemates move to their new accommodation, which means that I'll be "home alone" for the coming weeks. I'm still trusting that God will show me the right solution for my housing/ new house mate in the season that lies ahead. And then the other change is that I'll be a year older by the end of the week; of course, it's not as big a change as it sounds; it's just that I'll have a birthday at the weekend, and so some friends have invited me and the other LDC staff to their home for a birthday brunch on Saturday morning. Sounds like fun!
