Dinner @ Jaffa St

After a long day of travel and sites, we sat down... Collapsed! Our driver took us to Bethlehem and we visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Tonight we stay within the walls @ Jaffa Gate. Dad's doing well but is pretty tired after the day we've had... But then so are we all!

Bethlehem

Today we're in Jerusalem! We've made the pilgrimage to Bethlehem and a stop by the Good shepherd store. Tonight we'll spend the night within the old city walls.

Church Dinners

Dad taught and preached in two services today.  The McClintocks sang in our noon service and we had awesome church.  It was amazing to have Dad with us at all and even better to have him ministering. We had a wonderful dinner with some of our Sri Lankan friends in the afternoon.

It should go without saying that we're totally excited about having everyone here!

Jordan Valley

We made the run to Mount Nebo, the Baptismal site on the Jordan River and the Dead Sea on Thursday.  It's quite a run from the peak of Nebo to the lowest point on land.  Mom & Dad got to float, dip their toes in the Jordan and look over the "Promised Land" in a whirlwind tour.  We were so happy to have the Dewey family from Canada join us on our pilgrimage!

Jerash & Ajloun

The family went up north today to the ancient Roman ruins of Jerash and Ajloun Castle.  The weather has been perfect with clear skies and cool breezes.  Dad's been keeping pace with the rest of the group... the only ill-effects anyone's had is too much sun!  There's lots of lovin' going on for Cooper who must think he's gone to hug heaven... he's always in someone's arms!
