COME JANUARY 3RD I GET TO LIVE HERE FOR A SEMESTER:

You might be asking yourself, "Where is that?" Well, let me tell you. JERUSALEM, ISRAEL. Yes, I am TOTALLY serious! I just found out tonight that I got accepted to the BYU Jerusalem Center for Winter Semester 2012! I am in a complete state of shock right now! I have wanted to go to Jerusalem for years- seriously, since I was like 12 and found out what the Jerusalem Center was. I am finally in a place where I have the time (and let's be honest, funds!) to go. I quietly applied about a month ago- I didn't want to get my hopes up. You see, it is the process by which one is admitted is a lottery. So I honestly had no idea whether or not I would get in. It is complete chance! Except I really feel like this is what Heavenly Father wants me to do. I have wanted it SO bad for SO long. I am so excited for this adventure- I am so excited to see where my Savior walked, see the things He saw, and be in His homeland. I am excited for my relationship with Him to grow- I saw how much it grew on my mission, and I was amazed. But I think there is something about walking where he walked, and immersing myself in His culture and history that will be very different than serving a mission. Ugh I could go on and on about how excited I am and how much this means to me- but I will spare you all ;-) Needless to say, I am totally and completely STOKED!
Now here is the really important question- Should I take Hebrew or Arabic?!?!?!
That sounds awesome friend!!!! Good for you! miss you!!
