My dad paid the $400 down payment on Israel, and now, there is no turning back. I'm going in June, and I'm VERY excited! Also, in 14 days, Amanda and I are going to the Dominican Republic again to see my family. The first few days, we're going to the beach, which is especially exciting because of this brash winter weather. What a contrast! I can't wait to see everyone there (including my family, my mom's friends, and some people I know at my old high school, SCS!)!

Something I'm personally excited about is visiting two of the orphanages, and teaching the children, and the workers the Gospel. Amanda and I have been planning this for a while, and because we're both very rusty on Spanish, we're relying on the Holy Spirit to enable us to be witnesses to His beautiful Word. Please keep us in your prayers!
