Text of the page (random words):
or the entire week only to find ourselves teaching 5 songs to one of the classes and 3 to another and so on while at crafts we were able to really sit down and talk with them and ask them questions the theme for today was family so we were constantly asking do you have any brother s sisters each time a child reached for a splotch of paint for their brush we repeated the color in english and encouraged them to do the same the biggest takeaway was just how much they thirsted for the loving interaction and this is something you can definitely pray for these are beautiful children with heart wrenching stories each one has gone though so much in their short lives more than any of us will ever imagine please keep them fervently in your prayers how are we doing hot hot hot lol encouraged is a good word to describe the group this first day went off soooo much better than any of us expected and it is due to only one thing god thank you again for your support and prayers there is no way we can do this without each of you the alabama team posted by our walk among palestinians at 11 53 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday june 17 2012

finished with home visits we went to the garden tomb and shared the lord s supper if that weren t enough after that we visited the baptist prayer house the purpose of the prayer house is to praise

trees in beirzeit we worked with the family who leased the trees it was very hard work and we are very tired but it was an eventful day and much was accomplished we re thankful for the opportunity and are grateful you are thinking of us as an aside s t the one who has experienced a hot shower the last two days is extra grateful the rest of us are refreshingly chilled posted by our walk among

visited the first baptist bible church this morning ch and fee made a craft with the children during sunday school while the rest of us attended the worship service it was really cool of course it was all in arabic but one of the members told us the speaker would be preaching about the parable of the ten virgins from matthew 25 about how we need to be prepared because we don t know the time and place we felt very welcome there after service we were invited to lunch at the home of jad and cynthia it s an understatement to say we enjoyed visiting with jad and hearing his stories he s quite an amazing person to get to know we were especially gratified to get to meet and sing for cynthia she has been a major influence in this area for over 50 years she suffers from ms and alzheimer jad says the alzheimer s is a blessing from god because she doesn t realize she s suffering the debilitation of the ms that kind of shook me it shook me more when he took us back to meet her and from the room we heard him say cynthia it s me jad your husband i thought about how much he loved her and how hard it must be for him we all went in and sang to her when we sang jesus loves me her face broke into the sweetest grin she couldn t remember that jad was her husband but she recognized the name of jesus b n questioned what would be the one thing he remembered when he couldn t remember anything else that may ultimately be our testimony definitely something worth thinking about we miss you and we ll see you soon tomorrow we ll be helping a local family harvest their olive trees that should be quite an experience posted by our walk among palestinians at 7 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tn team 10 11 08 marhaba from your friends from tennessee we arrived yesterday afternoon about 5 30ish it was exciting for the three of us who have been here before because we recognized so much and feel so comfortable it was more so for the others who are visiting for the first time and seeing the land with fresh eyes the apartment hasn t changed it s still 72 steps up but the view once you re up there is way worth it we got up early this morning and went to the falafel stand it was as delicious as we remembered and even b n tried one i think we shamed him into it but he actually liked it and i was proud of him unfortunately mike the stand owner was not there apparently he s been traveling stateside but is due back any time i m hoping we get to see him before our visit is over today we delivered food to and visited with some very nice families a lovely young woman was especially intrigued by fee she came and sat beside her and the two of them chatted for about 30 40 minutes without knowing each other s language beyond a few words it was sweet to watch it was especially gratifying to watch s t interact with the men in the villages his ability to communicate seemed to really put them at ease and the men were very glad to have the chance to talk with him in one of his more colorful conversations there was great discussion about noah and moses we re reminded of the things we have in common and that at the end of the day there is only one major difference between us think about our field personnel p l that god will give them discernment and wisdom as they lead us also that the families we visited families we visited

give to their parents it must have been quite an experience for all involved a couple of them tell about their experience below last week s photo project was fun and tiring and although cutting things out of foam isn t my forte i got pretty good at making hearts and letters and palestinian flags the project seemed simple enough go to local school take photos of all the children and teachers and make frames for the photos the first day taking the photos went fairly smoothly although many children were absent due to some confusion about a national holiday it was fun taking photos and hanging out with kids that day the second day making frames was when the fun really started glue scissors and lots of children is always an exciting combination the stickers went fast and in spite of our one sticker per child rule i continued to notice frames with several stickers on them teachers tended to be particularly frustrating as we would assume they d know better and yet they persisted in defying our one child one sticker rule helpfully putting several stickers on a favorite child s frame still each day we learned how better to perfect our system and we ended up making lots of new friends in
