Shalom... I'm a Hebrew speaker now

This week was my first Hebrew class. It was super fun! Our teacher is great! She teaches English at the Hebrew Univeristy, and Hebrew at the "Mormon University" (that how locals know the JC). So as of this week I officially know 4 Hebrew letters... alef, bet, vet, gimmel, (and modern gimmel). Wahoo! Ha ha... it was really fun! So before you know it I'll be a master of the Hebrew language... or not. :D

We also went to the Israeli Museum... that was interesting. The antiquities area was closed which was sad. So we saw the sculpture garden, and the dead sea scrolls, and the mini model of 70AD Jerusalem, and other museum-like things. It was fun... we were silly.


Yesterday we just had class... two quizzes for two classes. We had a service project yesterday afternoon cleaning out a tomb they dug up a couple years ago right in our yard. That was fun! And mostly we just got ready for our trip to Egypt! Wahoo! We leave on Sunday (don't worry that isn't Sabbath...we're still keeping it holy today ;) ). I'm super excited!


This morning I woke up with a medium (not quite killer) migraine. Kendra got a kick out of me so she took this picture. She found a lot of humor out of it so I thought I'd share it with you. (That's ice on my head and sunglasses... I don't see how it's that funny... but okay. Maybe it's because I'd make a wicked sweet ninja!)


Well I have to run to my dance lesson! (Caleb is teaching me to ballroom dance... ha ha) I'll update when I return from Egypt! I'm really excited for it!

Love you lots.
