So, yes, after many many hours on planes and in airports we have finally made it to the Holy Land. This is the moment so many of us have been waiting for. I have been in Israel for about one full day, and I don't think that it has hit me that I am actually here. We have learned a lot so far. We have definitely "hit the ground running". There is so much planned for us and we have so much to learn and so much to explore. One cool thing that happened is that on the way to the Yad Hashmona, the name of the place where we are staying, which is a Moshav, a town. Bill Schleigal read us Acts 9 where Peter heal a lame man and raise Tabitha from the dead. And on the bus we were driving past where all that happened. Which is awesome to think about how these events actually took place within walking distance from where you are.
Last night we were all pretty tired but we had to stay up as long as possible to combat the affects of jet lag. So John Lafferty and I went to explore the Moshav and got some great pictures. After a restless night of sleep, we got up and had breakfast and had some IBEX orientation and took a formal tour of the Yad Hashmona. After lunch we had class for Land and the Bible, because we are taking our first field trip. We are taking a walking tour of the Old City.
Today we also had a water fight to combat the heat and to wake us up from all the jetlagging.
I'll be posting some pictures of the Old City in the near future. Shalom.
