So, my grandma's cousin Larry and his wife Sandy emailed me a while back with the name of a cousin from our extended family that lives in Israel.  At first, I thought it would be easy to find such a person, but I was wrong... It was nearly impossible... But, I finally asked one of my roommates to help me, and I was actually able to find my cousin's phone number.  Monday, I decided to place the call... my heart was beating fast because this is a big deal... It was to be my first contact with family that lives outside of the continental US! 'Ring' 'Ring'... "Hah-Loh" - a man's voice... I asked him if he was Rueven Kfir, and he was... then I asked if I could speak with Klarissa, and thankfully she was home... I informed Klarissa that I was her cousin, and she was ecstatic... she wanted to know everything, and then she invited me to stay with them for a weekend to bridge the gap.  It was so much fun to talk with her, and I was so thankful to finally have family in Israel!  It was likely one of the happiest phone calls of my life!
