What do you do when your best friends get the opportunity of a lifetime and move to Israel for 21 months? Shout for joy, secretly cry, and make sure you see them as much as possible before they go.
My amazing friend Heather was accepted in to a Master's program at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She's an incredible self-taught scholar on women in the scriptures, and I'm so excited for her to get the chance to learn more. She's always wanted to live in Israel too! While she works on her Master's in Biblical Hebrew, their whole family will be living in Jerusalem for almost 2 years! Luckily, we got to spend two weekend in a row with them before they left.
First up, Hazel, Rose, Eliza, Abe, and Tabby attended Heroic Youth Summit together. They had an amazing time as usual!

Lenora was SO sad she wasn't old enough to go with Tabby, but luckily these three got to spend two nights with us during Summit. The second morning was Rose's birthday, so we were able to celebrate with her at breakfast, and again when we dropped her back off to her family.
The following weekend, the kids and I headed up to Idaho to stay with the Farrells and attend Tabby's baptism. It was a great weekend! Heather and I pulled off a swimming birthday party with a dozen 8-year-olds and made an impressive rainbow Jello for after the baptism. We even got some time to sew together. The kids played and played and played.
We sure love these people! I'm so excited for their adventure in Jerusalem even though we'll miss them like crazy. Technology makes it feel not so far away. In fact, Hazel and Rose are taking the same online science class and meeting every week to do labs together over Google Meet. After they finish, the kids chat and catch up. Have fun Farrells, learn a lot, then please hurry home!
