I finally got a chance to go to the DEAD SEA and I loved it! I am so in love with beaches and I floated my way to heaven. It was the most perfect day and I could seriously go there everyday but what made it even better was that I went with my dearest friend, and here she is….

I’d like to introduce you to my teammate Bethany! She is my bosom buddy on this trip. She’s always up for adventure, laughter and a deep talk about faith, struggles and our dreams. We’ve made so many great memories together and I honestly think that she will be my friend for life. She has a compassionate heart and a willingness to serve. Back home, she works as a nurse and loves to play any sport in her free time. She loves her family and has amazing friends back home that she invests in just like she has with all of us.

She’s encouraged me so much in my relationship with Jesus and I am grateful to have such a strong woman as my friend. Bethany has helped me look at things from a different perspective, to be more positive and to question my faith so I can grow closer to God.

I am so thankful for her, and look forward to celebrating her birthday with her in Jerusalem on Wednesday. She’s been such a gift to me and I pray that God continues to give her the desires of her heart. I love you girl!
