A Match Made in Israel

Today we had another test, but otherwise it was pretty much just a free day. Many of us took advantage of the day to read, rest, and do laundry.

Something that must be reported is that two days ago a couple in our group became engaged to be married. Landon Baumgard and Jen McDonald became engaged near Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem on June 25th, at 8:10pm Israel time. They have been dating for five years as of June 26th (the very next day was their five year anniversary). When Landon popped the question  Jen couldn’t have been more surprised and she responded with tears of joy and a resounding “Yes!”  One thing is obvious to us all… Landon’s got class, the ring that now ornaments Jen’s hand is nothing short of extravagant. They don’t have an exact date for the wedding chosen yet but they are in no rush.  We all wish them luck and are very excited for them. Mazel uBracha (congratulations and blessings) Jen and Landon!
