1 year ago today...



"After what felt like forever we did actually land in Tel Aviv and I took my first steps on Israeli soil, my new home"
-from my journal

I had no friends, xxl shirts, one sweatshirt and too many cough drops.

I literally cannot imagine what my life would be like if I had not gone to Jerusalem.

I would not have met all of those people, and the people they knew.

I would not have learned the truth of the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

and
I would not be me.
and
I would not be this happy.
and
I would not have grown.








It's funny how sometimes a day actually does change the course of a lifetime.
