Today we went to the old city in Jerusalem. We saw the dome of the rock first. And toured around the Muslim quarter. Then we went to the church of st. Anne where we sang Jesus loves me and Mary pat didn't sound as bad as usual! After that we went on the via dolorosa. We went to all 14 stations where Jesus carried the cross. Halfway through we went to lunch at a little cafe and ate falalfas again...! (we seem to have these a lot!!) we finished our tour at the garden tomb where we had our own communion. Katherine and Jacob served as elders for us. Our tour guide Issa invited us to have juice at his mother-in-law's house where we met his wife, two kids, brother in law and mother in law. They were all very nice and gracious to have us over.now we are all at our family's homes ending the night with a delicious dinner and getting to know our families better.
Tomorrow we plan to go work with the elderly and tour around bethlehem.
Love and faith,
Katherine and Elizabeth :)
Sounds like a great and meaningful day. The falaphals sound good.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, send us an email if you have access on your Ipod. Apparently, the texting won't go through.
Your all in our prayers.
