Another One Leaves

So today we had to gather for a 1:15am meeting out of the blue. We all gathered at the big area where we do corporate worship and they announced that a guy named Ben that's in our DTS was going to go home. He was caught doing some stuff before, so he had a chance to stay or go, but he decided to stay and try his best to behave. His dad even ended up coming to Kona, Hawaii to help encourage him which was pretty crazy because whose parents would do that? They all had big hopes for him, but then yesterday (I'm guessing) he got caught doing something again. I wasn't close to him at all and only talked to him maybe once, so I have no clue what he did, but ya.

So I guess this makes the 4th person to leave YWAM (another guy left, but ended up coming back [none of my old roommates]). Everyone then started to say words of encouragement to him that was pretty touching. At the start of it, one of the leaders walked up to him and gave him a hug for like 5 min. and whispered something into his ear. All the girls started crying of course, but it really was pretty sad. They were all saying stuff like "We're a family now, so even though we're going to be separated, know that you'll never be distant from us anymore because we're now related by blood, the blood of Jesus."

Well this guy's going to be leaving tomorrow morning and for a change, the one leaving isn't a Korean haha. Man, what's with Koreans and always being the trouble makers haha.

Anyways, this week the speaker is apparently really famous...and is from the city of Vancouver (where I'm from) and I totally didn't know who he was until I read his little profile in my binder, but apparently most of the Americans know him haha. I asked another guy from Canada (and from my city) if he knew him, and he had no clue haha. How ironic. Well he's speaking a lot on having a relationship with God by spirit pretty much. Like being in constant communion with God through your spirit to His spirit. Really different teaching than what I'm used to learning, but it's pretty interesting. I'll write more about it later most likely.

I forget if I wrote this, but they said we're going to get the lecture recordings, so I'll upload them eventually when I get them so you can all hear the kinda stuff we're learning.

Anyways, see ya all later, God bless.
