Wow. Today was kind of the beginning of the end for us here. We had our New Testament and Field Trip finals this morning. The FT test was a piece of cake, they left us clues throughout the week all around the JC of what the questions would be, so we had a googledoc with all the questions and answers. New Testament was a little bit harder, but I still felt really prepared and I think it went really well. It was nice to be done, but kinda sad to be in the classroom for the last time. This afternoon was mostly resting. We all definitely needed to recover from the stress we had this week.
Tonight we had a Community Outreach Concert, basically a goodbye concert for all the students and people we have met in Jerusalem that we invited. I sang in the choir for a couple of songs, and there were a lot of other really amazing songs. I was a mess for most of it- my friends Chelsea and Jane sang For Good from Wicked, then my roommate Jessie played the song she wrote about Jerusalem on the guitar, then some guys did Prayer of the Children, and at the very end we all sang God Be With You Til We Meet Again. Suffice it to say that I definitely should have gone with the waterproof mascara. I've been so excited to come home, but tonight I started to realize just how much I'm going to miss it here. I am so attached to the Old City, the JC, all of the people here and the Spirit that is here in Jerusalem. I love it here and it will probably be harder than I think it will to leave here and come home.
