Israel: Day 1

Arrived in Israel!

So I have arrived. The flight was long, the layover longer, but it was good. I left from Toronto Wednesday evening and arrived at the Warsaw Airport Thursday morning. I then had a 14 hour layover in Poland. The Poland airport isn't that big, and I don't speak Polish, so I got lots of reading done and some sleeping too. It was fairly relaxing. They have a room that is for relaxing. It has more comfortable chair and the repetitive announcements that all airports have are not broad-casted in there! 

 

After Poland it was a shorter flight to Tel Aviv and then an inter-city shuttle to get to Jerusalem. 

I arrived fairly early and have spent the day settling in and getting familiar with where things are. And taking a nap that ended up being five hours long instead of only one.....

This is the view from my room. That is a pomegranate tree that is there and some other citrus trees as well. I haven't figured out what they all are yet.

I have my own room, and it is a fairly large room as well! here are a couple pictures.

Blessings from Israel!

Israel! 3 days til depature

Israel!

So I have had this blog for a while, but I have been very inconsistent in keeping it updated. But in a couple days I'm going to be much further away and I have heard from many people that they would like to know what is going on and how things are going. So I'm going to make more of an effort to keep this updated on what is happening, what I am learning and what God is doing in my life.

I'm getting excited! I don't know everything that is in store and I definitely have a lot to get done before I leave. I have to pack most of my stuff still (once it is unpacked from being at camp), appointments, I get to go to my sister's midwife appointment and probably hear the baby :) , and get last minute things done!

I fly on Wednesday evening and will arrive in Israel early Friday morning. I have a layover in Poland for about 13 hours.

I'm excited to see where God is leading me. He has been faithful in many ways and I trust that He is working everything together for His glory!

*Also, after Wednesday, I will no longer have the cell phone that I have had. The number will no longer be mine. I will be available through Skype, Facebook, or Snail Mail!

For now.... I should be packing....
