Friday and Saturday-Aubrey

Yesterday, we did the drama 3 times, and broke the pb&j rule for lunch and had Pollo Campero again. Definitely one of the best days of the trip.

Tyler, Ashley, Logan, Tim, me, Josh, Ranfis, and Sergio all sat at a table together. I am really going to miss hanging out with all of them. We had such a blast together.
We first did the drama in a park, then in another park on a basketball court, and then we went to the market again. Very sketchy group. A whole bunch of drunks were yelling at us the whole drama. Thankfully, the police showed up.
It has been a blessing though to have a peace from the Lord this whole time even in potentially dangerous situations.

A praise that i want to lift up is my friend Ashley that I mentioned earlier. Since the last post about her, she has not reported any pain. Praise God right?!

Yesterday alone, our team had 41 salvations. Just team 6! As a total there are 2447.

Today, a few of  us are going to go out to lunch and the market with Josh and Ranfis. At 3, we are going to have team time and our birthday celebrations, and then at 5 our team is going to perform the drama for the hotel staff.
I have lobby time for my flight tomorrow at 2am for San Salvador and then Miami. Thankfully, I have not once gotten sick on the trip. I have been completely drained of energy, but God has completely provided me with all that I have needed to get through daily.
So, this trip is almost over. I can't believe it. Today is our last day. This is just something that I have waited for, for so long, and it's basically over. I wish that I didn't have to leave.

8th grade-God called me to foreign missions.
10th grade-God called me to central America.
11th grade-God called me to Guatemala.

Are YOU guys ready for us to come home and Never be the Same?

Sounds like a good (and productive) trip, and that's great about Ashley (I've been praying for her)!

Once again, I also have a question, although what the answer is isn't at all important this time. How many teams are there?

Wow! I cannot believe the trip is almost over. What an amazing report on Ashley! I have been praying for her a lot.
Can't wait to hear more details!

Ahhhh! You guys are probably on your way home now. Which, is both good and bad. But either way, it sounds like you guys had an amazing trip! I just spent an hour and 15 minutes reading all your posts. (With a few breaks to fold laundry. :P)

I'm definitely jealous. This trip appears to have changed your lives even further. I was amazed when at one point Aubrey said the salvation count was 1180! Miracle!

While I'm sure you guys are sad to leave, all of us at home can't wait to see you! :D Lexi & Aubrey - I'm praying hard I get to meet each of you one day! You both sound like amazing girls. :)

Tyler- Pack it up for football camp in a few days. And don't hurt yourself. ;) Haha, see you at Old Mill next week! :D
