A view of the separation barrier in Jerusalem.

We will talk more about what it is we are doing when we have more time. For now, know that is has been a scary, informative, beautiful experience so far.

We are safe at our next destination! Keep us in your prayers and thoughts!

London, London, London!

To those of you who have emailed us recently and not received a reply, I am sorry! While the internet is certainly better here than it was in Malawi, we have not had access to it.... Sorry, again.

To those of you in Bellville, I want to hang out when we get back! We come back to the states one of the last days of October and are staying at least until after Monday (nov 5th maybe?).

PS sorry i was too lazy to send out individual emails, or even a mass one...

To London

We had an amazing time in Germany with a bunch of my friends (Germans who I lived with while I volunteered in Chicago for a year). One night we even met with a lot of the members of the last community, which was so strange for me, because that makes me TWO-communities-old!

We also went to Italy for a week with Julian, Hannes, and Dave. That was a fantastic vacation, with two day trips to Verona and Venice.

Tomorrow we fly out of Nürnberg, Germany to London, where we will meet my mom and sister in a couple of days!
