Day 25 - June 4th - Saturday

My Journal Entry:

I figure I might as well write on the last flight home since the jet lag won't land far behind me. :) The first flight was about ten hours from Tel Aviv to New York. We said goodbye to Heather, since she's flying to Florida for the summer, so there are only nine of us making the journey home. We had time to eat breakfast before our next flight, then we flew from JFK to Salt Lake City for four and a half hours. This last flight will be about an hour and a half. It's a bittersweet ending to an amazing trip - I'm glad to be almost off the last plane, but sad to be leaving my team and the amazing adventure we had together. Good morning America, Shalom Israel, and farewell until my next trip. :)

Mr. Wilson's Details:

Dear VISION family and friends,

following the completion of VISION XIX’s mission trip in Israel.

This includes:

Luke Kanagy, who is visiting family friends near Frankfurt, Germany;

Heather Lawton, who is in Jacksonville, Florida, embarking on evangelistic summer ministry for the third year in a row;

The nine team members who returned to San Diego, then on to their respective homes: Mike Alvarez, Lizzy Byrd, Caleb Davies, Lindsey Davies, Amanda Graham, Trisha Guinn, Nick Mitchell, Priscilla Norman, and Valerie White.
