This message provides information to help recipients prepare mentally and physically for an upcoming study tour of Israel. It includes an attached guide called "Couch Potato to Israel 2012" that offers a plan to get in shape for the walking and potential hills on the trip, similar to a plan for training for a 5K run. The message encourages using audio devices loaded with Scripture while exercising to prepare both physically and mentally. It also notes the Kindle can read books aloud.

Greetings fellow Pilgrims.
One of the things that I hope we will all be motivated to do this year is to prepare to make
the most of our study tour.
To help you do this, I put together something to get you moving. You may not be a couch
potato, and you may have made some goals to help get you ready for the walking that we will
all be doing in Israel.
Attached you will find a simple guide for helping to prepare yourself mentally, and physically
for the tour of a lifetime. I have named it "Couch Potato to Israel 2012" because I based it on
a similar plan that is used to prepare a person to run a 5K even if they have never run before.
We won't be running in Israel, but will be walking, and will do some stairs or small hills
possibly.
Use this plan if it is helpful or use your own plan. The important thing is to get moving, and
with some headphones and Scripture on an iPod or other audio device, it can prepare you
mentally as well.
By the way, did you know that your Kindle can read out loud to you? You'll find the feature by
pushing the button next to space bar with "Aa" on it. Add a free Bible from Amazon.com and
you're good to go.
Shalom!
