Last Day of Volunteering


June 28

Today was my last day volunteering at the hospital. I am seriously pretty sad. I really don’t know how to put in words how I’m feeling right now. Today, I did a few interviews on the affect we have on the employees at the hospital and almost every one said they love how happy we are! The truth is, we’re so happy because of THEM! These people fill me with so much joy that I WANT to serve them with all my heart. All the good things that they love about us so much is because of them. And because I love them so much, I have no choice but to share Yeshua’s love with them.

It’s really amazing how much these people appreciate our work. Chris and I got to walk around a visit people to do our interviews and they absolutely love the work that we do. They thank us over and over again because we are young people who are willing to work without complaint. THIS is the testimony we are commanded to have. To love people through our actions. Through our attitudes. The love of Yeshua shows through this! People notice something different! And that is what our testimony is all about.

In fact, they are so appreciative of our work that we got to plant trees in our honor! The Friends of Israel boulevard now has four new trees that we planted today. Kaplan Hospital is amazing. They have wonderful people with huge hearts. They deserve our support. We got a tour of the new Pediatric Building today and I found out that they have to raise all their money in order to build new buildings! They have so many plans on how to improve their hospital! I hope someday that I will be able to give towards this hospital because they are not in a huge city like Jerusalem, but they serve MANY people around Rehovot.
If any of you feel the Lord leading you to give your support to Israel by donating to this wonderful hospital, or if you would just like to find out more information about the hospital I’ve been working at for the past two weeks to keep in your prayers, you can visit this website! I know they would appreciate it immensely!

Anyway, after hanging out at the hospital for a little while, we went back to the house and got ready to go to a very nice restaurant, treated by the CEO and Director of Marketing at the hospital! They gave out certificates and the meal was absolute wonderful! There were appetizers and a full meal with desert. It was a beautiful restaurant and we had so much fun! I seriously can’t go five minutes without laughing with this team.

This team is so wonderful and they have encouraged me in so many ways. All of them have such huge hearts for the Lord and it’s so evident in everything that they do. This team may be the most joyous team I have ever been a part of and I love them so much. They are so much fun and at the same time, they are hard workers and have such a heart to serve. I am so blessed to be here with them.

I love Israel. I love God. I love the joy that He has given me. I also love all the technology we have so that I can still talk to my friends and family while I’m here and keep you updated! You have all been such an encouragement and have supported me so much. I love you!
