On the Sunday, our team picked us up from Harpenden on the way to Kings Lodge, where we were going to be staying for the next week. We joined the Kings Lodge DTS for their lectures so we could share their speaker, but their DTS left for their outreach phase 3 days after we got there so we got the speaker to ourselves for the last 2 days.
The speaker was amazing – she taught on communication and helped us develop some skills that have already been useful when dealing with one another in the group. It was a week of a lot of freedom and growth as a team. We learnt how to be transparent with one another and talk through problems without getting upset or defensive, and we also learned a lot about how to listen more closely to what God is saying to us.
One thing I forgot to mention, but I’m sure most of you know, is that we will be leaving for Egypt in a week, and will be living there for 2 months. While we were at Kings Lodge, it turns out 3 of the students on their team are from Egypt so we were blessed with the opportunity to ask them questions and learn a lot about the people and the culture before we head out.
