Indiana and Mallorca Spain

 

Elysse and I at Turkey Run

IT'S.SO.FLAT.

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind of adventure from one country to the next! Jesus first brought  me to Crawfordsville Indiana to reunite me with one of my best friends Elysse Keesee! I had a wonderful time with her family and friends. Elysse took me to the famous Turkey Run which turned out to have nothing to do with the name but was a beautiful hike! Which was a nice contrast to the million and one corn fields I got to see, but they also had a unique beauty to them. Its amazing how many different landscapes God had created in America alone. It shows a characteristic about Him...He's never boring.     He never creates the same sunset or two people who are exactly the same. He's creative...He created creativity for heaven sakes. Anyway as you read this blog I might go on random tangents like that, just a heads up. But one of the many things Indiana has going for them is  delicious food! Man oh man! Cracker Barrel has stolen my heart, biscuits and butter for daysss! And don't even get me started on Angie's homemade beef and egg noodles or her salmon patties! All in all I had a wonderful week getting spoiled by Angie and Dave ( Elysse's parents) and  also God knew I needed that week to start to process all that was about to happen before I left the country!

Elysse and I ready for our red eye flight to Spain!

Then on September 7th Elysse and I boarded a plane to Mallorca, Spain, where we were going to spend the next four days soaking up the sun (or so we thought) and checking out the Bible college campus there. We got there the next day in the afternoon so we were zombies due to the jet lag but the excitement of the unknown was a huge energy boost! I knew a guy named Alex (shout out) from the Murrieta campus that lives in Spain with his family and he and the Bible college staff were gracious enough to hook Elysse and I up with our own amazing flat the had a view from our balcony of the beach that was only a five minute walk away! We got there on the perfect day because that night was the last night of this mid-evil festival the city was putting on that has a bunch of amazing booths full of delicious food and jewelry! And to finish off the festival they had a firework show on the beach! I was in awe the whole night as God continually blew my mind with His love and grace! We got to meet all the students and teachers at the Mallorca campus and got to tag along with them which was a huge blessing! They were a rad group of people and they are going to come to Israel for the last two weeks of their semester so we will get to see them again! The weather was kinda scetch some of the days but because of the clouds those were the nights that we had the most breathtaking sunsets! And the Mediterranean water did not disappoint, it was as clear and refreshing as I imagined it to be! Elysse and I just couldn't get over how good God has been to us, we would just stare at each other in and ask if we were dreaming. It was a trip I will never forget and God's beautiful creation once again took my breath away! As our relaxing trip came to a end we started getting super anxious and excited for what the Lord had in store for us in Israel! And on September 12th we once again boarded another plane to what would be our new home for the next three months...Jerusalem, Israel.
