Well, we're halfway through! Less than two months left and I'll be done with DTS. Can you hear the joy in my voice? Honestly, I'll be sorry for this time to be over, but at the same time today I am ready to be done. But, God is my strength and He has called me here for now, so here I will stay!

Our team started our 'official' schedule last week. Tuesday and Thursday is Street Kids, Friday is Kid's Club, and Wednesday is College group. Lot's of youth. You might think, "Kids, kids, kids!" However, the difference between the street kids and the village kids that we do Kid's Club is astronomical. The street kids here are super smart, fast, and rough. If you get their attention for 5 minutes consider yourself lucky. On the other hand, the kids in the village of Agarakhi where we do Kid's Club are sweet, quiet and obedient and totally innocent. It's a brain switch to go from one ministry to the other. Different games, songs, skits, everything! I love doing both of these ministries though.

IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students) is really great too. It's a bit of a break for us- no kids songs or games! I met a guy there last week. Quite a few guys actually (Georgian guys are pretty bold)! However, this particular guy was interested in my iPod so we got in to a conversation about music.

"Do you have any Celine Dion?" he asked me.

"No, not really," I said, "Do you like her?"

"Oh my God, I looooooove her! Celine Dion is GOD!" he passionately replied.

I'm sorry to say, but I burst out laughing in his face. I couldn't help myself! I don't know how people are about gay/lesbian lifestyles here (I don't think it's widely accepted) but that was one of the gay-est things I've ever heard! Literally! However, I pulled myself together, put my hand over my mouth to keep my giggles in, and said something about liking Celine Dion every once in a while too. What a night.

Besides him, no real prospects, though. I'm not too worried about it, though our whole team likes to tease each other when we see a cute guy/girl on the street or somewhere. The weather is still great here, sunny and in the 40's most days. Tell Albany that it better be warm again by the time I get back! Love you all, thanks for reading!
