To start this blog off, for those of you who don't remember or were uninformed, I went on a mission trip to Israel from May 11-June 4, 2011, with VISION XIX, San Diego Christian College's singing and drama group (which I have been a part of since fall 2010). This year's trip to Israel was over twice as long as my trip to Swaziland last year, and my team went to several different places rather than staying in the same area and doing the same thing. Unfortunately, my journal entries weren't quite as detailed this year as they should have been, but our faculty advisor on this trip (Larry Wilson, a.k.a. VISION Dad) sent very detailed emails to each team member's parents of our days' activities. Thus, I'm going to be splitting up many blog posts into “My Journal Entry” and “Mr. Wilson's Details”! One last note: the people on/with the team. Since I will be mentioning several names, you should know who these people are. :) I only gave details for team members who have graduated or have lived in other countries.
