Day0: A day of negatives…negative test results and negative temperatures, which is a positive thing! Negative COVID test results at Walls Pharmacy yesterday gave us the green light to start our journey to Israel! Filling out the green form to travel in Israel was a journey in itself. A 3 mile, -17 degrees sunrise run and a snowy afternoon walk with my dear friend Becky will be a reminder of the monochromatic, snowy, and cold world we love, but are taking a break from for a few days.
Verse of the day: Isaiah 66:13&14
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.
Day 1: Up at 3:45. Our dear friend Carol Olson was our Uber this morning…she picked us up at 4:20, then Mason and Svea at 4:30 and dropped us all off at Hope church. Our bus pulled out of the parking lot at 4:50 am. We start the first leg of our journey.
Sleep is as elusive to me as Oliver’s tail is to him. As much as he wishes he could catch his tail, I wish I could catch some zzz’s.
