Tonight Shabbat started! So, we have church tomorrow
morning! But today we had Land and the Bible class at 8:00 am and then I spent
the rest of the day in the library. I am going to Italy for travel study break,
but right now the hard part is finding good ticket prices. We were going to
book them today but couldn’t find any, so we will be looking again soon! Lunch
was an hour later than usual, but it was partially American food! So yay!
After Lunch, I went back to the library and studied until it
was time to get ready for Shabbat! At 6, the whole group and staff went to the
sanctuary (kind of like a replica of a tabernacle) and took our group picture!!
So exciting! Then it was dinner and chapel! Chapel band had our first
opportunity to lead worship and it was fun! I hope we did well :) but from what
I heard it was good!
Chapel was so good and we talked about Isaiah and did some
word analysis and saw that the idea of the root springing forth is seen
throughout Isaiah and throughout the Bible. It is seen in Jesus coming forth
from the rod of Jesse as well as the Word of the Lord coming forth out of His
mouth. It was a lot about connecting Scripture and seeing things that we had
never noticed. It was also just really cool to read verses and remember that
God is Creator and He created the world with His words! He is all-powerful!
After chapel, a bunch of people from our group went up to
reception and got ice cream! It was so yummy! And then we went down to the
Miklat and played a game called King Elephant! It was quite fun! Once that game
was over, it was definitely time for sleep! I’m so ready to get a good night of
sleep! Shabbat Shalom!
