And by that I mean:  FIRE ANTS.  Okay, not really.  But they are painful!

This week cannot be put into words.  I have grown so much this week.  It was amazing, trying, fun, difficult, learning, teaching, growing, and gaining.  Our team is HUGE!  41 students and 14 leaders.  If you could all pray for unity, that would be amazing.  It is going to be difficult to keep a team this large together unless God intervenes, and I know that is very possible!  So, please keep team unity in your prayers.
 
It has been so amazing to see our team grow in Christ and into a family over this week!  Here are some pictures from training camp! They aren't in order, just so you know!
 
 
This is a picture from us learning the drimes.  It's basically a play without words, set to music.  This one is to DC Talks' song:  In The Light.  I am the one on the far right with shorter green shorts!
 
 
 
Okay, I messed up the formatting on here, so I can't post under each picture.  The next one is of one of my team leaders, Amber.  We had to feed each other because we were late for lunch after the bell had rang.
 
Right after leaving the Atlanta airport, we got on a school bus and were brought to training camp about 1.5 hours from there.  I am sitting with Sam on the left (my right) and Loretta on the right (my left).
 
The final picture is amazing.  I know a lot of the people in it are my teammates, but here's what happened.  We were all put on buses and dropped off in various locations to do an ATL:  Ask the Lord.  What we did was we gathered and prayed and asked God what He wanted us to do.  We were left in a trailer park that was mostly filled with a Hispanic population.  Our team gathered that we should:  gather and kids.  So, we split up.  Part of the team began gathering garbage and the other part started collecting kids.  As we came over this hill, this was the sight we saw, which was amazing!  God blessed us through that, we got to play with the kids for about an hour.  Yesterday, for dinner, we then went to a park, and we came across one of the little girls, so it was amazing!
 
On another note, my plane leaves from Atlanta at 1:10 this afternoon, then we will be traveling until midnight tomorrow (Wednesday) when we will finally get into Jeffreys Bay.  If you could all be praying for safe travels, that would be great!
