Just a quick word tonight to let you know that I am safely back in Jerusalem in my little apartment. I am very very grateful for the wonderful week at home—so blessed to spend time with my loved ones and accomplish every task I needed to do.
Melissa took me to Houston to the airport Saturday and we went right in, parked and were in line at Intercontinental when one of the staff people said you are supposed to be at Hobby! It was less than 2 hours before take off and pouring rain and Melissa and I didn’t really know how to get going out of the airport and headed down south. Sandra was praying—and I was hyperventilating! And we made it. Melissa drove up, we dumped out the luggage and I got straight in line…had no problems whatsoever. Then when we got to Atlanta—what a wonderful airline Delta is and a wonderful airport Atlanta is—people everywhere helping you and telling you where to go…I was in line to get my boarding pass and thought about my make up bag—I had left in my bathroom drawer. So I ran to the duty free store…and bought new make up—all Clinique…then went back to the gate to wait and wait and looked in my backpack and there it was…the orange make up kit. I was just in an addled state. So I need prayers that I will maintain my little bit of sanity!
Today when I arrived in Tel Aviv, Wilma and Erin had volunteered to come get me. They had been shopping in Modiin—great city and new mall…and they surprised me by coming to get me. I had on black track pants w/a white stripe, black turtleneck, white cotton jacket, black tennis shoes…and Wilma was dressed in exactly the same thing. We laughed and laughed. And took pictures. I am going to send to Melissa and hope she can put one on the blog. When I came in the apartment, everyone was so excited and nice…so that made me feel good. It’s late and I’ve been traveling 18 hours and need to get to bed…just wanted to share that I’m home!
Thanks for your prayers…please continue to pray for me and my family and Jerusalem School.
Love
Beth

Beth,
ReplyDeleteYou look pretty perky for someone who just traveled 18 hours! Love the matching outfits...maybe it will be "an American in Israel" style and trend setter. May God bless you and your friends who are doing this work in a mighty way.

You sure don't look like you've been eating much since being in Jerusalem/Palestine! You're about the size of your white stripe, girlie!
