Hey Everyone,
So I am extremely jet lagged and really want to go to sleep but I thought I would let you know that I made it safely to Jerusalem. It is basically the most amazing experience of my life and I have just barely begun. I started technically yesterday at 6 am. And did not stop until 4:30pm today. Our flights have been delayed everytime!!!! It was crazy but I was never scared that we were going to miss a flight, partly because I knew I was being protected and I was with a group of about 20 people and it is not very likely to be left with that many people. :) They divided us up into groups to catch our flights. The people in my group are amazing and I love being around them so much! The planes we were flying on were huge, I have never flown on such huge planes but it was so fun. And the best part was running through the Chicago Airport with basically "Sister Missionary" Tags on to the opposite side of the terminal. Gotta love the airport. So every flight was delayed because of weather, mechanical problems, or who knows what. But it really doesnt matter. I love being around the people aboad the aircraft and the people in my group. On the flight to Vienna there was a Chex Mix that was called Happy Mix. It made me laugh, I toke a picture of it but I dont want to upload it here. So I dont know how many pictures you will get to see but dont you worry you will see them eventually. The people around the world are so amazing and the people at the center have amazing spirits even though they are not LDS. The food here at the center is very different but it is good. I am willing to try anything considering we didnt get to stop anywhere for food in the airports because of the rush. Today right when we got here we ate, and then we to the auditorium. Oh my hannah, it has the most amazing view of the city I have ever seen. WOW! Then we got introduced to some of our classes, they will be rough but for sure worth it. But I am safely here and love it so much! No worries :)
P.S. I will try and get pictures because I know they are more exciting but because of the internet here in the Center it is hard to upload them. (Sorry!)
It is so good to hear you made it safe and sound. Looks like the adventure has already begun and you are enjoying every minute of it. Keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for blogging despite your jet lag! It is 9:30pm here so it must be 6:30am there and according to the schedule you are having an early breakfast followed by a Jerusalem Walk! Looking forward to another update!
