Ben, Leah, Aubree, Josh...


...and sometimes Jozef!

Ben: 21, health care student, Arizona. Skills: hauling metal mattress frames, balancing our team budget. and writing English lesson plans way ahead of time. Likes: all food (even the lemon pepper hot dog skillet), one on one conversation, rock climbing and swing dancing. Dislikes: being sick and missing out on school visits and The English Patient.

Leah: 33, JV missionary, Iowa. Skills: hauling booty to the train station, changing plans at the last minute, forgetting to get receipts. Likes reading, talking, laughing too loud, dancing in the kitchen. Dislikes: dirty floors and too long fingernails.

Aubree: 21 (22 in 5 days!), BA in Spanish and International Relations, six month intern, Arizona. Skills: cooking, public speaking, private speaking, super-funny-comments-that-make-great-quotes speaking. Likes speaking, dancing with David on the square and headbands. Dislikes: stereotypical girl stuff and global injustice.

Josh: 22, BA in History, California. Skills: lemon pepper hot dog skillet, "Hour of Power" cleaning and random Czech phrases. Likes physical contact, jumping, big words like "to laud." Dislikes: the typhoid fever he picked up in Ethiopia and scalp itch.

Jozef: 23, Economics grad student, CZ. Skills: leading Strakonice camp, explaining things in detail, making good suggestions. Likes economics, that he can go with us to Presov camp and hanging out with students. Dislikes: romantic comedies and wastefulness.

I'm so thankful for this team! They have been serving whole heartedly and non-stop and are a huge encouragement to me and to those we're working with. Please pray that we'd be in step with the Spirit, that we'd be unified and also individually go from glory to glory as we become more Christlike. And that we'll have loads of fun. :)
