Troubles with email

It seems the email gremlin has bitten my iPad.  I don't seem to be able to send or receive emails the usual way, soif you want to send me an email, try using my gmail account.  I think it works.

In Israel

We are safely setting up in our flat in the hospital in Nazareth.  We had good flights all the way.  The flight from Dulles was crowded and they had changed aircraft type so we did not have the seats we thought we would have, but aside from that everything went very smoothly.

We were surprised to see that the flight from Paris to Tel Aviv was not full, except in the cheap seats. We were also surprised at the ease with which we went through passport control, got our luggage and through customs.  It was not crowded at all.  It seems that tourism is down a little.

Our regular taxi driver met us at the airport and drove us to the hospital via a MacDonalds on the way because we didn't want to be bothered with preparing food after we got to our apartment.

Tomorrow we will do some grocery shopping and try to get things better arranged but our hosts here had the flat alreadt set up and cleaned, and even had heaters in the bedrooms so we won't freeze to death when we go to bed.  She even had microwavable bed warmers in the beds for us.  That's service.

More news as things occur.

Last day before departure

We are awed by the number of people who are interested in our upcoming travels.  We leave tomorrow and will probably post arrival notice and first report on Saturday evening.  We will miss all of you.  For those of you who know him, remember to pray for our brother Bruce Romoser and his lovely wife Auburn.  Bill Beydler and I saw him this morning.  He was in the ER at Holy Cross hospital.  I do not know what his disposition is at the present.  Remember to pray for God's comfort to both Bruce and his family.  He has been and is a faithful servant of the Lord and has been an inspiration to all of us with his faithfulness.
