Soooo it’s hard to believe, but we’ve finally made it to Israel! This month we’re fasting from all technology, so besides one blog a week, you probably won’t hear from me much at all. But know that I’m safe and sound and loving life here!
This past week we’ve been living in Arad, which is basically the middle of the desert, to the south of Jerusalem-about 20 minutes away from the Dead Sea! We’ve been working with a couple here teaching English to Bedouin children, which I have loved so much. We’ll be doing that for the next week or so and then for the rest of the month my team is going to live in Jerusalem with a Jewish Orthodox family. I’m so excited for that and hope we get to celebrate Hanukkah with them and learn more about the Jewish culture. While we’re living in Jerusalem we’ll be running a soup kitchen, which I’m also so excited for.
So that’s about all that’s going on here in the Middle East. I just wanted to give a quick update to say that I’m alive and well. 🙂
