WE MADE IT and all is well!

I've already experienced so much and have met some really amazing people. There's a snow/rain storm happening right now, so the main two roads to Jerusalem are closed and we are staying in Ashdod for the night. (2 Samuel-arc of the covenant)

We hope to make it to the center tomorrow to start classes. Staying in a super nice hotel and we were served an authentic dinner of fish from the mediterranean sea, olive couscous, and super good pastries.

A bunch of Jewish orthodocs were on our plane so that was a very unique experience seeing them all pray together while we were in mid-air.

If you'd like to keep in touch (I won't be able to use social media after tonight) my email is:

It's currently 10 at night so going to get some sleep, we have to be up early tomorrow. Can't wait for all the exciting adventures!

XOXO
