Feb 4th, 2011 (I forgot to post this)
This week has been a lot of catching up with homework. Last night we were assigned to read 23 chapters in the Old Testament for one of our classes. It’s been a really demanding workload but I really enjoy the things we study.
So tonight I helped to host a jazz concert here. I got to welcome
everyone and take their tickets and I FELT LIKE A SISTER MISSIONARY AGAIN and it was soooooo fun!
We also had a “Girls’ Night” and like 40 of us crammed into a room full of bean bags and way too much estrogen. It’s really fun to have a million spunky girls talk about crazy dates and guys. Ha ha….I’m back in the college dorms again!
Tonight is Arab night and I signed up to cook with the chefs for a
few hours. I felt really good today. I got some
exercise and got up early after getting some good sleep.
Feb. 19th, 2011I also taught Sunbeams today. I set up the room as a maze with all the chairs and then put my headlamp on Jacob and he had to lead the rest of them through the maze. It was a lesson about how God created Night and Day. Then I acted out what I do before bed and when I wake up...they were entralled by my miming talents. :)
I just got back from a neat tour of some houses in the Old City and we met with some elderly people. It was really neat and I want to go back and visit them. It was like the mission, they loved us. One old lady that singled me out of the group and said that there was something about my eyes that perfectly reminded her of her belated husband and she sweetly said that she hoped that I would live up to that because her husband was a wonderful man. I'm just gonna take that as a compliment... ;)

Oh my, Synthia. What a wonderfully rich experience you're having . . . rich in culture, relationships, spirituality, fun, learning, etc. I'm loving the photos and the journaling. Keep it coming! Love ya, Sandra
Synth!!!! I've been browsing your blog and I'm so jealous of your awesome experiences in Jerusalem. They sound amazing and I can't wait to hear all about them when you get home! I talked to your mom the other day at church and she told me some things about your life that I had no clue about!! Like a certain boy that you are keeping in touch with?! ;) that's a winky face, in case you couldn't tell. Anyway I would email you but I'm not sure what email address I can reach you at. Let me know, I'm sure your super busy so if I don't hear back from you I'll keep updating myself through your blog. I love you and miss you lots!!!!
