We arrived yesterday in Tel Aviv in the afternoon and they threatened us all the way home to NOT FALL ASLEEP YET! Since we are 9 hours ahead of Utah, I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 11:00 pm here, cause it was the afternoon back home. This morning though....I was really tired.
So, this is what we've been up to:
The JC (Jerusalem Center): After entering the Center (Arabian Palace) I told the girls next to me, "I just want to put on a gown and dance around to princess music!" (Okay, so that's a bit dramatic, but you should see this slab of architecture! It's breath-taking! The best part is the view of Jerusalem. This morning I couldn't believe that it was the true balcony scenery. I feel like one of the most blessed girls alive. I'm able to get to know the city where Christ walked and from a Latter-day view.
My roommates: They are so sweet and down to earth!
The Oasis (cafeteria)- delicious and nutritious
This morning we went out walking from the JC to The Old City. (I'll tell you more later)
Most of the students here are a couple years younger, so happy and friendly!
The service couples and professors and JC workers are so cool and excited for us!
I'm trying to retrain my brain to not smile at those that pass by me. Smiling at young Arab men could be very dangerous because they won't necessarily see it as an innocent expression of global friendship, as I'm trying to portray.
Love you all!
