Here is the first update from Keri:
May 16 - Saturday evening upon arrival we drove to Haifa to have dinner at the B's. The G family was there as well. It was a wonderful place to eat, orient, and connect. We arrived in Nazareth around 9 p.m. and settled into our flats. A good night sleep was had by all.
May 17 - Sunday a.m. we woke to a beautiful warm day. Around 10:00 a.m. we began our half hour walk to church. We were a bit sweaty when we got there but it was fine. Even though the language spoken was Arabic we knew we were among brothers and sisters in Christ. Songs were sung and Scripture was taught.
For lunch we walked into the center of Nazareth and ate at a pizza parlour. The owner is a man that R has been building relations. The pizza was pretty good. Even the corn pizza. During the afternoon we took a tour of the hospital. This is where we will be working throughout the week. We then headed out of the city and had dinner at a Bedouin restaurant. It was delish!
Our Sunday came to a close atop Mt. Tabor. We had an amazing overlook of the Galilee Valley and were able to pray for the villages and people.
Keep praying for us.
We are praying Sweets! Selah asks about five times a day, "Where's momma?" So far my reply, "She's in Israel", satisfies her.
