"God has given me an incredible life and the incredible opportunity to visit the Holy Land this spring break. I am eternally grateful for the graces I received, the experiences I had, and everyone who was there with me! My stories will never be able to fully grasp what we saw and felt throughout this trip! Every spot we went to was a new blessing and a new message for us to receive. Some were harder to hear than others. But through this whole thing, I have been reminded again of God’s love for the world and what it feels like to live a life dedicated to Him. No matter how many times I fall, God is always ready to accept me back and Israel proved that to me again! Thank you to everyone who was on this trip with me (especially when they made sure I took care of myself) and to anyone who has helped me along in my life. God has blessed us and has much more in store! Never give up on your faith!"
