Our last shabbat in Yerucham was really nice. Friday night we did services all together looking out into the desert. I went to my host family for dinner and then we had a tish. Saturday morning we davened at Afikim and then had lunch together. We had some downtime and then we had a pot luck seudat shlishit for us and for our host families, gan teachers, etc. After we ate, a bunch of us gave mini presentations about our different volunteer places. At night we had a pool party on a nearby kibbutz.
Today we had to finish the packing we started on Friday. It was such a stressful day, but in the end everything worked out and now we're all packed up and ready to head out.
Today I also went to my gan for a little to say goodbye. They made me a cake and the kids and teachers all thanked me and stuff and it was really really nice but sad.
I went to dinner at my second host family's house, and then we had a pancake birthday surprise party for Elli.
That's about it..
I'm not sure if this is going to be my last post... that's so weird. I can't believe the year is almost over.

Wow - it seems like just yesterday you were blogging about food! Love you!!
What a great year! I'm know you are filled with mixed emotions. While this wonderful year comes to a close, the future is so bright for you, filled with more and even greater adventures. I knew this would be a life-changing year for you, and I can tell it was. It has been amazing for me to see Israel through your eyes, and it has been a gift to watch you grow into such an incedible young woman. I love you. Love, Daddy
