Stepping Beyond My Limits

So far, my past three weeks at Muss have been the craziest weeks of my life. We’ve already done so much: crawling through caves, hiking, visiting museums, and going to incredibly meaningful places throughout Israel. 

Yesterday, we went on an intense hike in the desert, Hod Akev. It took us eight hours to complete! We climbed up a mountain, walked down the other side, crossed the desert, and reached a small spring—then headed back again! It was definitely challenging and something I had never done before. But I’m really glad I got to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. 

Something I’ve loved so far about Muss is doing things I never thought I’d do and realizing that I actually can do them! My time here has been amazing, and I can’t wait to do more!
