one week down, two to go!
tomorrow we head out for three days of travel in the land. I will not be able to post probably until Thursday. we will be traveling to the south, visiting Negev. moving north-east, we will visit the Dead Sea; maybe even take a dip! we will also be nomads in a sense; moving around to two youth hostels! we are always going to be taking some great hikes. hopefully I have have more pictures than sunburns at the end of the week! thank God for sunscreen!
I am learning a lot in the land. we had our first exam today. so many of my previous thoughts of the Holy Land are being turned upside down! I am realizing that my Bible education has not been as intense as it should have been. and as a result, my brain is hurting with information overload! however, I am having a great time and will definitely come back with wonderful stories and pictures of this challenging, yet rewarding time.
thank you for the prayers. I have felt very safe during our day trips. my body has let me know when I need some down time and I am grateful for that instinct! and know that all of you are in my prayers as well. I miss home and am looking forward to sharing my trip with you!
