Hello Friends!
I am just starting my 5th week out of 12 here in Hawaii! I cannot believe how much I can grow and learn each and everyday. It's crazy! This week our speakers name in Joe Ferrante. Joe is talking about the father heart of God this week. He has been an amazing speaker (along with everyother speaker we have had) and I am so amazed with how much I can learn and start to live out from what he says everytime he speaks. Later this week we are going to learn who is in our Outreach teams and what our focus will be! Out of the 21 of us going to Cape Town we will be splitting up into 3 outreach teams. I'm so excited to know who is in my team so that we can start to know who exactly we will be with for those three months and compare our passions and figure out what we will be doing! VERY EXCITING!! I am excited to report to you what exactly I will be doing once I get there! Apparently there are kids that need love everywhere so no matter where I am or what I am doing I will get to be with them, which was excellant news for me! :)
Last friday night we had a dodgeball tournament here at the on base. My teams name was "Team Pretty." We wore tie-dye. I am sad to report that we lost all three games and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. All in all it was a lot of fun though too. My favorite thing here is community outreach on Tuesday nights. This is when we just go out into the community here in Kona and just try to connect with people. It has been really fun so far and I have met a lot of cool people. I've been amazed at how easy it actually is to just go out and talk to people anywhere and be able to connect God into their lives. You sould all try it out :)
Well that is all for now!
Thanks for all the prayers that have obviously been working!! I love and miss you all!
Love, Annie Wellumson!!
I LOVE MAIL!!!

October 13th Update
Aloha Friend!
The first two weeks in Hawaii have been incredible! I feel like my faith and knowledge about God have already doubled since I have been here, and it's only been two weeks! I have met some amazing people, some of which I would already call some of my closest friends! I have class Monday through Friday which consists of listening to speakers come in and teach us how to bring heaven to earth and spread the love of God. We also are doing "community outreach" here in Kona every Wednesday night (or whenever else we may please) where we go out into the city and pray for whomever we feel called to pray for. Being here is definatley taking me out of my usual comfort zone, but it's been super good to learn how to branch out and be able to tell anyone how awesome God is!
We decided our outreaches on friday. My DTS is going to South Africa, Boulder Colorado, and New York. I will be going to Cape Town, South Africa, and probably the Comoros Islands of of Mozambique. In Cape Town I will be working in some schools there teaching them various things including the gospel, along with working in some AIDS hospice's in the area. If I go to the Comoros Islands that will be a week long trip with 4 or 5 other students and staff. This island is mostly muslim and only has 2 christians. We will have to be under the rador there because christians get persecuted but we will get the opportunity to teach what we know to the other two christians on the island so that they can be lights to spread the gospel to more!
I am so happy to be here, I know God has so much in store for me and the rest of my DTS. Thank you so much for your support and prayers! The prayers have definatley been working because everything has been going to well! I love and miss you all!
