Hello Miami!

Hey Guys!

Just thought I'd do a quick post letting ya'll know that mom and I made it to Miami safely. Our flight from Dayton was delayed an hour, but thankfully we still had enough time from our layover in Atlanta that we made it on time.

Got on the shuttle from the airport to the hotel here with Jaime Jamgochian and a few other leaders. Elaine sat right next to us on the plane, so it was good to catch up with her a little. She was a leader on our team last year, and she is the language trainer/counselor on the trip.

We came here around 4. Met up with Susie, Beth Becker (team 5 leader), Vera, Wendy Bruce (team 6 leader), Steve Goley, and Ray (team 6 leader too). Pretty sweet cause Susie remembered my name. And there's a lady here writing the story for the magazine and she already interviewed me for the Bibles. (YES Tyler and Lexi, I mentioned you guys, and she wants to meet the both of you!)

Checked out the Bibles and tracts. They're awesome. Like, seriously, these things are freakishly AWESOME! I love them.

Mom and I went out for dinner around 5, and went to some place next door. It's pretty good, and we got to talk to our waiter about the trip a little. Mom was reading a text from dad, and shouted YES or something like that right as he was putting her food down, and she kinda scared him. It was hilarious. He didn't speak much English, so when we were trying to explain things, he just nodded his head and made funny facial expressions.

Good times.

My roommates and I have been hanging out most of today. They're pretty nice. We watched the Spanish channel for a while, and tried to figure out what they were saying. Then tried to catch lizards out by the pool, and played cards. I already got 8 bug bites. Oh well. haha. Not sure what we're going to do next. Probably just hang out some more. Leaders are in training now, so we're kinda bored. Trying to figure out what we're going to do tomorrow.

We'll find something. C:

Hope everything is going well at home. Love you all, and can't wait to meet you here on Monday!!
