Hello from McDonalds again,
What a busy weekend!!! Last night after kaylah (church) we jumped in the van and took an evening trip to the beach at Ashedod, a city a few miles north of the Gaza and a few miles south of Tel Aviv. There is no sunset like the one from Mediterranean so we took advantage of it and took several pictures individually and as a group. After the sun set we sang songs of praise to our God and Lord Jesus Christ for His love and grace toward us. Bruce also gave a devotion on the Biblical event that took place at Ashedod: anyone brave enough to comment on what happened at Ashedod (clue 1 Samuel)?Earlier in the day the group worshipped with the kaylah through prayer, song, and a message from Bruce. Also before the message Jon and Joy Courville sang Be Thou My Vision acapella, they are quite the musicians. The kaylah has certainly taken us in and made us feel apart of their small family.
Today we returned to work at the hospital and kibbutz. Shlomo our boss put us right to work cleaning the filters from the large A/C units. There are probably 25 industrial A/C units scattered throughout the hospital bringing cool air to the people. These filters were filled with dust and soot collected through the months. The IYA workers were able to clean about half of the units today providing both cool and fresh air to the people (anashim).
Tonight we will here the testimony of our friend Adi from the kaylah. He is going to tell the group how God through the Holy Spirit captured his heart and brought him to faith in the Messiah Jesus.
Since I am at McDonalds I can put up some pictures for your viewing pleasure. These are pics from the kaylah, Ashedod and work today. God Bless and continue to pray.
Until He Returns,
Chris

Hey Chris,
Great pictures!! I check the blog every day. I love hearing and seeing what you are doing and can picture in my mind where you are.
Heard about the wedding! Are your old missionary friends from Vegas invited? :-) You could get married here AT THE DRIVE THROUGH WEDDING CHAPEL. :-)
Keep the posts coming as often as you can. We know you're busy.

You're right, Chris, the sunset is fabulous. It looks like you've been putting in some long days, so I'm glad to see everyone got time for a little R & R (rest and relaxation) at the beach. Thanks for the pictures and the update; I love hearing from my son who is half-way around the world! Love Ya, Marm
