Dunham

I've arrived safely in Dunham. Thanks for praying! The flight was very smooth - no turbulence. But that may have been because I was sitting right over the wings.

I met the YWAM representative at the Montreal airport, and we waited for two other girls to arrive. After meeting Dorianne and Anna-Elisabeth, we drove for an hour or so to the village of Dunham. Dorianne is from Switzerland, and Anna-Elisabeth in from Germany. Both of them speak French and English.

We received an enthusiastic welcome from the staff when we arrived at the house, and then got shown to our rooms. I have two room mates, Stephanie from Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Shaynna from Shelburne, Ontario. We then went on a tour of the house, and met more people. I'm still learning everyone's names. There are people from Quebec, from Nova Scotia, Germany, Switzerland, three people from Australia (Yay!!!), a couple from South Africa, and others from other places that I don't remember. The one staff girl from Nova Scotia pioneered a DTS in Sydney, Australia, so she knows about Nowra!

The YWAM house is huge, and old. The main part of the house was built in the late 1800s. One extension was built in the 1910s, another in the 1930s and the newest section was built in 1963. There are class rooms, a dance studio, recording studios, arts room, prayer room, gym, library, and all that in addition to the usual kitchen, bathrooms, dining rooms, and so on.

Now we're going to go explore the house, and then go explore the village of Dunham. DTS starts tomorrow night. Yay!
