Hello from Israel!!!

Hello everyone!

I've gotten access to a computer for a few minutes so thought I would post. No pictures though since I can't download/upload here.

What a incredible few days! Olivia and I are well and have been forever changed by this wonderful land that our Savior loved and walked on. We have seen the city of Caesarea, the Golan Heights, taken a ride on the Sea of Galilee, and witnessed several of our fellow team-mates be baptized in the Sea of Galilee. How can one see all that and not be changed?? The scriptures, especially the gospels, will seem more clear to us after seeing these places a little closer. What a privilege and a gift we have had from the Lord to be allowed to be here.

Some of our new friends are Janet, Sam, Hannah, Vicki, Nada, Gordy, Michael, Eva, Seth, David, Nicki, Charlotte, and the list goes on and on. We won't post their last names but we'll post pictures soon! All are doing well and we are safe. We leave from our hotel tomorrow to head towards the Dead Sea on to our last stop of Jerusalem.

Thank you for your prayers for us!!! We are feeling them and your love and concern for us!!

Shalom,

Shay and Olivia
