Hello Family.
Life has been crazy and a lot of fun. I have seen some cool moments here at DTS. I have new tools to use for the glory of God. I have a good team in DTS, there is a balance of crazy people and calm people . John is the name of my room-mate (he is a student-as you may figure) I LOVE THIS FOOL. He is a good guy who plays awesome screaming music for God, has a funny way of thought and living life. He is a good room-mate, helps me laugh and live in the moment...as well neat and clean. Lucas is another guy (who is a lot like me but obtains information better then me), he knows his history, philosophy, and statistics well. He is also learning to lighten up his thought process and rely on Gods wisdom and knowledge more then his own; which I know is a difficult discipline to begin. Joe is the next person I shall write about. Joe is another deep thoughted person more along the lines of Theology thought process then Lucas (and they are roomates-hehe that is funny to me). Joe is a visual artist, he draws the human figure with a slight anime effect to the figure. He as well sings, plays guitar and would like to become more involved in playing in the church. Gerad (I did not spell this name correct) He is a dancer, drummer. Learned hip-hop on the streets of CANADA and learned the drums in about a month or so. Very well at both! His personality is loud, fun, and sensitive when need to be. Matt plays guitar while singing, his voice is a rough voice that give character to songs he sings. Matt's personality is sensictive and goofy. Gerad and Matt are roomates so that is funny too. I notice that all the similar personalities are together so that is awesome and brings a lot of personality harmonies. Last week in the guys place there was a lot of personality conflict that was not addressed but I would like to think we are learning to confornt each other or just simply say stop talking. They are all good guys and we all personality wise compliment each other for the most part. They encourage me to take more risks in life. I HAVE DRANK FROM TWO PERSONS CUP and that is a big deal for me. I hug and fight them, they hug and fight me-fare trade! The honnie moon is over and reality is setteling in that we are living together for 7 months so we are becoming very honest with each other and shareing more with each other.
God has been teaching me to live. He keeps telling me to live with him, be with his friends. I havent found any deep thought provoking things to mediate on but I am ok with that for right now. I have met many new people who would like to follow God, be near him through out their lives-to the end. It is a good start and I can not waite to be strechted more for the glory of God. I will hopefully place pics up soon on this blog sight.
Brothers/ Sisters seek the Kingdom of God and tell me what you see.
Good Night FOOLS!!!!

ONE WEEK NOW
Hello Family
I am moving around a lot. Very busy at moments then very slow at other moments. The guys and I have gotten close over this last week. Monday was a hard day for all the guys, we were grumps! It maybe us or the creepers from the dark, it you know what I mean.
Spiritual Junk. SO, I have realized that when I begin to do my art forms I become supper insecure not by the fear of being horrible but just simply nerves. I think at moments how is this art piece, dance, writting going to change some ones life, I fear most that it will be lame, unable to get accross to others that there is a message being shown/spoke/lived now. Pray for my friends class begins bye.

Yep, day 3... i think
Hello Family,
I am with the newly met Family. It is still going well, we all have a general understanding as well respect for each other. The first day I told the team about my pharisee walk and my disappointments with the church being stagnate in walking forward in furthering the Kingdom of God. I have an idea that they do not know what I am talking about but that is fine, we have seven months to live together so it is well. The first night I was the first to share, it was awesome because people shared where they're background which brought comfort in knowing that I am not the only one with the same thoughts and burden. Truly we are growing to be like minded, very distant still but a movement is happening.
God has all ready begun the tug at my soul to fall all pride to his feet for others and my own freedom be lived out these next few months and hopefully life. God is a free God and I am trying to remember what I have learned from books I have recently read.
This is incomplete but time to go to sleep.
Good nigh

OK it is not so cold as I thought in BOSTON
Dear Family,
IT HAS BEGUN. I am sitting in my new home with a few new buddies and they are all different (in a good way). I am typing on a Del, sadly not a Mac, but Del is sufficient. I am very great-full to be here presently, everything is going well.
The people are awesome! Three are in to Halo, Metal Gear and that is all I know so far: that is awesome. So far manly musicians are the main art form that is being exercised here. I have talked to most of the guys here and yep all have some sort of musical background. Acting would be the second talent exercised here in YWAM Boston. I think we are all going to get along well.
Alright the flight was FANTASTIC, simple and quick. I walked in, used the toilet, washed my hands, walked out and started the process of bagging. I was originally in a middle seat but they gave me the option to move to another seat, which I took by a window. The middle seat was empty between the guy and myself, so we were comfy. The plane ride was peaceful, in my mind I could stop saying "Thank you Jesus", I was so great-full everything worked out well. I felt at home on a plane, relaxed and able to breathe again. On the plane I saw the most amazing view of CA beaches, I saw the area Brandon and I drew at on the pear. The water was messy but yet enjoyable to look at. As we flew closer to Boston snow was visible on the desert floors. We past Colorado so I was so happy to get a glimpse of such a pretty state. I read all on the plane finished one book and almost finished another and in both books I was already in the middle of so please dont think I am a fast reader...although I am working for such a goal... Anyways I arrived in Boston and it is not so cold 33 degrees, not so bad. I loved it. My skin was cooling off from all the heat in CA. I saw my breathe in the air, talked already to some strange people, who may have been speaking french. Then this guy walking around with a sign that says YWAM in the center and Jordan on top was walking around the bag claming area. I noticed him and walked up to him and said "YWAM, Jordan...yep thats me". It was a great intorduction.
OK LOVE YOU ALL.

Good-times!
Dear Reader-family-friends
I love you all. I am great-full for all your support in prayers and finances. All have played a important part in this time of waiting. I am leaving this Tuesday, charged with a readiness to see lives changed around Boston, within the team and myself.
These last few weeks I have been working on art and I had finished 6 new pieces. 3 have been sold to help my finance for YWAM. The pieces that are left are still up for sell but maybe raised in price.
Thank you for your support and love.
