Miami

Hey everyone! I'm finally here in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This is my first of my mission trip posts. We arrived yesterday afternoon. I met about 10 other girls who were going to Peru on our flight. It was awesome just to talk to them all and get to know them personally. It was a long 5 hours of making braclets, reading, and attempting to sleep. Then we got to the hotel and started our adventure. The first thing we did was check in, hand over our passports, and get our room key and I met my 5 other roomates for here in Florida. It was a little awkward with my new roomies at first, but now we are getting along great. Next we went to FUAGNEM. We listened to speaker and illusionist BJ Harris. He showed us how the world decieves us by what we see. We need to walk by faith and not by sight. After that we headed off to Drama casting. And after about an hour of making crazy faces and having fun, I was cast as the clown!!! Go figure:) Thats about all the excitement we had yesterday.
Today, so far, we have had lots and lots of drama training. Its a little exhausting, but pretty fun. Its really hard to dance around like a clown, when you don't have a costume on! Just a little bit ago we had dinner (Chic-Fli-A) delivered to our room.
One thing that I have really enjoyed so far, is sitting out on the balcony and praying. I feel like I can just be at peace and talk to God without having to worry about anything. Its so amazing being here with so many teens who love the Lord! Alright, well, thats all for today. I better let someone else use the computer! Talk to you all soon:)
