Love From Israel
I
’m here in Israel. Day is night and night is day! My emails are not working. Seriously, I can’t get one in or out. My texting is not working. That’s despite the fact that I have—not one—but two cellphones here! I’m so tired, I’m walking in my sleep. But I’m still not able to communicate with home, even
when awake. Nevertheless, that’s OK because I’m on a learning mission and need to be in classes.
The problem is I’m trying to be a better person, mother, and wife! And I’m off to a terrible start!
I’M TRYING TO BE A BETTER PERSON, MOTHER, AND WIFE AND I’M OFF TO A TERRIBLE START!
I can’t talk to anyone from my family; I’m too busy ignoring them while speeding from class to class—on how to pay more attention to them! First thing each morning, I repent and wake up committed to call them, and I do, and they scream: why am I waking them up in the middle of the night?!
I am zooming to the Kotel, to classes, to Chevron, to classes, to the ladies room, to classes. I cannot take in enough inspiration! So I am writing this article on the run, just to make sure that in case my kids or husband read it, they’ll know I’m thinking of them! And I’m writing to tell all of you that any lessons, messages, or growth I’ve gotten here on this trip, I hope I will be able to share with you over the next year in little ways and big ones. If I get too preachy, just write the editor. If I’m not inspiring enough, just write the editor. Basically, it’s not my problem! Have a wonderful week and I’ll be writing to you soon from back in America. Unless I get really lucky and Moshiach shows up soon and saves me a trip. Until then, I’ve got to photograph my writing; take a picture on someone’s phone and email it to all of you. Hope you get this filled with all my love from Israel!
