The Scuttlebut

Everyone in my office knows I'm going to Jerusalem, but this one man loves to bring it up every time he talks to me.
Today he told me how much time is left until I leave:

(In case I wasn't counting down on a whiteboard in my room)

7 weeks from today.

Then he said "Shalom" to me.

Another man asked where we were going while we were there and when I mentioned Jericho, he said he didn't know exactly where that was.

The next day he came to my desk to tell me he had looked it up online.

It's in Israel.

Nearly every conversation I have with anyone in this place revolves around Jerusalem.

I'm okay with that.

I love talking about it.

I am SO excited!

Last night we had a PIE party.

Everyone made up their own pie:

Morgan: Mo' Pie for Me

Amanda: 'Manda Creme Pie

Jared: The Hepworth Deluxe

Talia: FINtastic Fudge Pie

And then we ate them. And they were fantastic.


And afterwards we all nearly went into a food coma.
