Not many words...

Hey friends, just a really quick update on life: I am in Israel, my flight home is in 6 hours, and I am ready I think.

Europe was tons of fun, being back in Israel for a couple days has been wonderful and I have much to think about on the plane ride home. If you are in a praying mood, I get to begin the job search when I get back, plus lots of people to see and things to do and many other things that will be fun but draining. Hooray for jet lag...

I will say more later, but just in a short word, Thank You. Thanks for reading and praying and encouraging and everything else, I have survived and thrived because of you all. See you soon!

The final hours...

Here it is, the last night I have with IBEX.

I will not be wordy as I need to pack and spend time with these people who have been such a part of my life in the last 3 months.

A semester such as this is hard to sum up when one has just finished finals, is low on sleep, and distracted by everything possible. But I wanted to give you faithful friends and praying people the lowdown on life for me.

Tomorrow is our last day together, we get to go to Assembly, head to the Old City one more time, clean up our rooms and head out for the airport. The rest of the group flies out around midnight, I head for England at 6:30 am, thus beginning Eli's European time of fun. From there it is a whirlwind of joy, I get back to Israel the 13th of May, have 2 days to soak it in and then head back to the states. A prospect I fear because I will miss IBEX and its people, I don't know what I am doing or what life will be like after such an experience as this.

When I get home I will post a final time with a summary or stories or something like that.
Thanks for the prayers, they are still needed. I look forward to seeing you all in 15 days or so.
