APRIL 4, 2009
Great day today—good news about my friend Kenneth. He had a pace maker /defrib(?) done in Houston yesterday…and he is doing very well. I woke up and had 5 emails from people letting me know! How wonderful is that! The Lord blessed us all with a good answer…please continue to pray for Kenneth and Linda…as he recuperates.

Then today after school—we get out at 12:40 on Saturday—we went to Aroma’s for coffee, salads or sandwiches…my junior group. Ginan, Khaled, Bashar, Cathren, Yasmeen, Zeina, Manar, and Misoon…we went in a taxi that is really a van. He picked us up at the school and Yasmeen and I were in the front. He took off across our neighborhood and I was telling him he could not get out this way…he just kept going. The street beside the West Bank Wall has been made into a one-way…you can only go up. Not this guy…he went barreling down the hill on a single-lane one-way street…and then turned onto another one! Bless us—we made it down…and then he drove so fast…but we got there. We sat outside and had a great time—were there about 2 hours or more. We laughed and talked—Bashar is a big movie/TV person…and Yasmeen, Misoon, Zeina, Manar and I are all big book people…so we talked books and TV! They are such fun and so very likeable. I am so blessed to teach them. Yasmeen’s mom took me home—and drove me by the clinic they own—her dad is a doctor, and they have a clinic in Shoufat—a neighborhood not far from ours. Her mom is really pretty and so nice.

My friend Wilma is having health problems—and I am asking that you pray for her.

She and I are planning a trip to Antalya, Turkey during our 4-day break the week-end after Easter. Kristen and Trish may go also…we’ll see…

Tomorrow is our day to do the walk into Jerusalem from Mount of Olives, so I’ll write after that.
Thanks for your prayers and emails…please continue to pray for me, my family and Jerusalem School
Love
Beth
