On the day I arrived to Kona I received a welcome package with a
postcard inside. On the post card there was a verse. We were all given a different passage and later we read them aloud. On my card was written; Songs of Solomon 2:12.
"Flowers appear in the earth; the
season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The Fig
tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one,
come with me"
I found this verse so relevant, I was feeling nervous about making
new friends and being so far from home. These words brought me comfort and
calmed my spirit, a calm I feel each time I think back on them.
