"How Great is our God!!"

Hello to my Calvary Chapel family!!!

Thank you for you for all your prayers!! We just love it here!!
Just to think that our trip will soon be over makes us sad. To wake up and see a beautiful blue sky without one cloud in it, it is truly a magnificent sight. Also, to see a nightsky filled with bright stars, moon, and city lights makes it all so special that I try to absorb it all to remember it.

These last few days have flown by so quickly that it is hard to believe that the weekend is here again. We have done so many different things and blessed so many people, not knowing that in return we were receiving the blessings from them!!

Everywhere we went, people have called out to us saying, "Welcome, welcome" even as we walked through the marketplace. The families that have invited us over have been teachers and people who have NOT received their monthly payments for over three months!! Yet these people offer you so many things to eat that you would think you were in a restaurant having a five to six course meal!! The minute you arrive, so do the cups and the three kinds of sodas. Next comes the coffee and the list goes on. Please pray that these people receive thier pay. Teachers that have not been paid continue to go to work on a daily basis. They say that they do it for the children.

We have learned some Arabic language and I want to share just one little phrase:
"Yasuua ma'aTHamaka" This means "Jesus, how GREAT YOU are". It is part of a song that we learned and Heather and I seem to sing it or hum it regularly.

We got to meet an elderly lady at Calvary Chapel Jerusalem who is a Holocaust survivor. She was so small and cute. She had beautiful blue eyes and she reflected
so much LOVE in her. She kept on hugging me and I held on to her for a long time. That is about all that I could do because she only spoke Russian. I told her that I would take her home with me and she just had a glowing smile.

We also met other people of this land that touched our hearts. Meanwhile we had so much fun that we also acted as silly goofballs!!

Enjoy the pictures!!

Love,
Lucy
