We started our day in Jerusalem but are now in Haifa. We worked at the Garden Tomb this morning then packed up and took the bus to Haifa. This was a first for us to take a public bus. It was nice and not expensive. The taxi to bus station and from bus station to hotel cost more than the 2 hr bus ride. We decided rather than come here and back to Jerusalem we would just stay our last few days here in beautiful Haifa and rest. We went to Scott and Miriams for Moriahs birthday. We met others on their team at the party. We took a city bus, walked some then a taxi as they live up on the Mt. Carmel range. Taxi driver couldnt speak English. We had address and map but he couldnt get it. He even stopped to ask 2 pedestrians for help. Scotty got in the front and helped him find it and he then charged us outrageous amount so we just walked back. At least it was down hill. It was a lovely party and good fellowship with the Bridgers and others on their team.
It was good to get back and get a shower and now ready for bed. The room is nice and cool and has a lovely view of the Mediterranean Sea.
Bonita, i gave the boys hugs for you and lots of kisses for Moriah. I know Miriam will post some wonderful pics. I took a few but cant post now as i am just using my phone. Internet service is expensive in this hotel.
We will miss our wonderful new friends, especially Richard and Rosalind Meryon. Richard is the director of the Garden Tomb. They were wonderful to us and Im sure we will be staying in touch.
I was glad that this being our last day there I had some private time for prayer in the tomb after I finished watering the flowers. God brought many to mind to pray for specifically.
This will be remembered as a very special time in our lives. What a blessing it has been to work alongside such wonderful people in such a wonderful place.
