Drama training....and more of it

So this morning I woke up at 6:22. Yes, it's random, but the sun was shining right through the window. My roommates are pretty much awesome. (Hannah, Liz, Megan, and Mandie)
After getting ready,we soon went down to breakfast, had a team meeting, and at 8:30 started drama training. Just finished for a quick break at 11:45 and ate Subway. It was delicious. Now I'm getting ready to go to Language training, to learn a few phrases for Guatemala.



Yesterday's smoothie hunt with Dani and Tim included a trip to Publix, (and some funny pictures), and a stop at the pet store...which we will never again do...it's impossible to get Tim out! C:
(a few of the many....)

So that's all I really have to post about. Jamie Jam worship last night was a blast. It's amazing to be surrounded with so many other teens my age that all have the same passion for Christ AND the same mission.
I get to meet Luis next wednesday, so I'm getting excited for that. We leave for Guatemala thursday. It's been cool to meet these people too. Miranda, Aaron, Danii, and Starr. Lots of others too. Getting close to my roomies, as well as my team.
I'll post again soon!!

Aubrey is in Miami!!!

Hey guys it's Aubrey. Just wanted to give an update.
I'm in miami at the hotel. I arrived here about 1:00 this afternoon.
When I got to my gate in Atlanta, there were a few girls there that were going on the trip as well (it's kinda hard to miss those bright shirts!). One of the girls, Dani, is on my team!
Once we got to the Miami Airport, we hung out for a while, waiting on other flights to come in. Dani and I went to the food court to grab lunch, and split a Fruit Salad from CPK...yum.

There are so far about 100 students are here...more arriving every moment.
I've met some of my teammates and leaders. It's gonna be really cool to meet everyone.
Just having hangout time now. Dani, Tim, and I are about to go smoothie hunting. C:

FUAGNEM (fired up and going nuts every moment)is at 7, and dinner is delivered to our rooms at 6. (Team 10!!!!)
So... that's basically all I have to write about now. I'll post something as soon as more exciting things happen.

Thanks for the prayers, I arrived safely and on time,
Love to all.
