Israel...

So one week from now...I will be leaving for Israel. Yes...I know...it is freakin' sweet. My whole class of about 15 will be going, including about 20 other people from the Bucks County area. So it will be pretty exciting to share this whole experience with my friends and also some new people.

I don't think I'm going to be able to update the blog from there...i don't know...we'll see. But anyway i think its going to be really exciting to visit the same places where Jesus walked the earth. I know that is such a cliche thing to say...but really, it is going to be amazing. Ill be taking hundreds of pictures so don't worry...ill post them up here when i get back.

It would be very much appreciated if you could pray for our trip...we are all extremely excited, but obviously there are always things going on in the Middle East so anything could happen. I just ask that you would pray that God would open our eyes to all the amazing things we are going to see. Also that we would be reminded of what happened in the land. As Mr. Hardesty would say, "This is where God acted out His drama of redemption". Please just pray that we would all stay healthy as we will be doing TONS of hiking/walking.

Thank you to everyone in advance for praying for us. I can't wait to get back and update everyone about all the things I have learned and seen!
