September 2011

Greetings from Omaha!

I wanted to take this opportunity to simply express my gratitude to each of you, my friends and family, who have accepted my letters and so richly welcomed my heart these last six months. Thank you so, so, so very much for all of your prayers and support. Your undying love and gift of friendship are the most significant assets to my life. Daily, I find myself reflecting upon the marvelous people that have been placed in my circle of community and what a true gift you are to me. I think of you often, and pray for you as you pass through my thoughts.

As you read this note, I will be preparing for an extraordinary quest through Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea, Tiberius, and Jerusalem. My voyage to Israelwill begin on September 17th; with my Aunt Linda alongside of me. She is quite the gem and a beautiful, breath-taking spirit. We are looking forward to immersing into the culture and taking in each aspect of our journey. We will be embarking through a tour company who is spectacular with plugging tourists in with the locals. This trip will be dynamically different from any of which I have taken overseas, because of the mere fact that it will not be relief work. I look forward to writing you and sharing a few photographs once I return. My Canon and I are both ecstatic, as this trip toIsrael has been a dream of mine for many years! It is something that I have been anticipating – Something quite remarkable!

Please continue to keep me in your prayers, whenever you may think of me.
