Somebody pinch me

I made it! I'm actually here in Jerusalem and it feels surreal. It's a dream come true to be here and I'm so happy.

only picture I've taken so far... I'll work on that :) 

The past few days have been filled with meetings and meetings and more meetings so there is not much to report on. Besides the fact that there are lots of rules here. But they are for our safety and security so it's all good :) We started classes on Friday so that was exciting and today we had church. Yup, the sabbath is Saturday here in the Holy Land. And I have a calling!!!! I am the Youth Sabbath School teacher. I taught today with my co-teacher, Chase and I think it went well. We have 4 super awesome youth, 2 boys and 2 girls.

Random but my favorite quotes from the past few days are...... "Embrace your inner frump." (due to the highly modest clothing requirements)  and "To be a tourist is to see. To be a pilgrim is to see and be changed. So let's go on a pilgrimage together." - Dr. Seely.


This will be my blog for the next 3.5 months as I travel throughout the Holy Land. Tune in for my updates on where I've been and what I've learned!
