So I’ve survived thus far. It’s been a crazy week (and a bit) of getting to know my fellow students and the staff, but it’s been good.

One of the things I was least excited about before the DTS started was sharing a room, but it’s working out nicely, and it struck me the other day how lucky I was to be sharing a room with a guy from the US and a rapper from Palestine.

We haven’t had many lectures yet, but we did get some teaching on the second day about hearing from God that I really found useful, mostly because we had to put it into practice there and then.

We spent Wednesday to Friday on a retreat to farmhouse in south Armagh where we were kept busy helping out with jobs around the garden and house. It was great getting to know people while cutting down trees with them and building a monster bonfire.

Today was a day off – a much needed Sabbath which was mostly spent in a café drinking coffee and using their wireless.
