I don't have much time, but I just wanted to say I am here and couldn't be happier! After saying goodbye to dear friends in Provo, a 6-hour layover and 14 hours of flying (when I had to eat a Kosher meal because they ran out of normal meals, and the flight attendant called me a sweetheart for not screaming that something went wrong) we arrived in Tel Aviv. Driving into Jerusalem at night was surreal. The Jerusalem center is like a palace, and the view out of every window is breathtaking. And then, to see my reflection in the window and realize where I am is even more dreamlike. I just can't believe I'm here, living on the Mount of Olives. But I am sure glad I am!
My fellow students are an incredible group and I'm so excited to get to know each of them better and learn from their excellent examples.
We went on a tour of the city this morning, but couldn't take cameras because we didn't want that to slow us down. But pictures are soon to come!
