Justin Douglas Sayers
So who am I? Well, I am in my early twenties and working on getting my MSSW at the University of Louisville. I work part time and also spend a great deal of time being involved with my church. I enjoy reading, watching tv and spending time with my friends.
We are almost a week into our trip and I am so blessed to be able to journey through Israel & Palestine with this wonderful group. Tonight our tour guide, Claudia, invited us to her home to see how pita bread is made. Many of the sites and holy places today were especially moving, such as, seeing the Mount of Beatitudes. However, having pita with my brothers and sisters tonight was special and reminded me of the African philosophy that says, "I am because you are, because you are I am".
I leave for Israel & Palestine very soon! It seems like yesterday that I was deciding whether I would go. Well, I have been all over Louisville and Southern Indiana and I am almost ready--but really, if I have to go to another Target or Wal-Mart! I realized tonight that I forgot to buy a memory card for camera and I probably should pick up a water bottle too!
Well, I must finish my laundry and find a way to pack enough clothes in this small suitcase! I will write soon--probably while I am waiting 10 hours in Newark!
Peace & Blessings,
Justin
