Making the move to another country is not exactly the easiest thing, especially when you are there for a whole year. You have to pack enough things for a year, pack everything away in your house and make sure that your house will be ok while you are gone. Oh, and find a place for your dog to live, for a year! When the days started getting closer everyone was getting stressed on getting everything ready. The last night before coming was the most frantic and long night of my life, i didn't get any sleep which did cause me to gt sick in New York and we ahd to get every last bit packed. Then in the morning we went to the airport and ended up missing our flight! But we got another flight and eventually headed towards New York. We then spent 5 days in New York going to all the church sights and staying in a really nice house. Although I had strep when I was there. After the 5 days were over we got on our really long flight to the Holy Land. When we got here it was a humongous culture shock and then we finally settled down into a really comfortable state which we are now in right now after 3 months.
