I finally made it to Israel, what a day--i haven't slept for 27 hours, i am looking so forward to laying my head on my pillow tonight! It hasn't hit me that i am in Israel and will be here for awhile!
I arrived in Jerusalem today around 5pm so there wasn't enough time for me to walk into the city, so tomorrow will be the big day! Tomorrow i plan on walking to the King David Hotel and then to the Jaffa Gate. The Jaffa Gate will lead me into the old city, I will then go stand on Mt Zion and ponder all the incredible things that happened on the mountain,im really looking forward to spending time on Mt Zion. Before i left my dad would sit down and explain all the spots to me, Mt Zion is one of his favorite spots so because of that I cant wait to get there, I know i will hear his voice the whole time.
After Zion i will head to the Western wall and spend sometime in pray, i have always wanted to pray there and not feel rushed so im looking forward to that as well! After the western wall i will just walk around and get acquainted with the city, i need to buy some groceries so i will most likely venture in to a grocery store tomorrow!!
Tomorrow i will post pictures of my first journey...Friday i head to southern Israel to do some ministry work there and then that night we will be hosting a special night for the Holocaust survivors... (they want me to learn some songs in Russian, i have one day to master a Russian song hopefully i can do it)!!!
Thank you for bearing with me, im so tired right now so its hard to totally convey everything to you--hopefully i will have time to describe things more in depth. Thank you for all your prayers--please continue to pray for me!!!
Shalom,Shalom
Sarah
