Not every phone call has to end in 'I love you' and not every goodbye has to end with a kiss.

Life in Palestine:
I have had so many questions about how I am doing and what I am doing over here in Palestine. So I will take some time to answer them.
For the last couple weeks I have been doing lots of random stuff since the kids have been away. I went to lots of different sights and have gotten to know more of my Muslim neighbors. I have had many ups and downs my first seven weeks here. For the first two weeks I was just taking lots of pictures and amazed by all the sights. While I am still amazed by the beauty here I have also hit the spot where I miss my home. I miss my family and friends, and I miss my car.
Time really is going fast though, it is hard to imagine I have been here seven weeks already. I have almost forgotten that I am in the West Bank and just am living day to day seeing what stuff I can do and get involved in.
In three weeks I have some people from PA coming on a missions trip and I will be able to get to spend time with them which I am very excited about because when they come they are bringing me a camera! For those that don’t know I have been without a camera since Christmas which is hard because I see so many awesome things. A couple weeks ago one of the girls here got mad and kicked my camera breaking it, but thank God for Best buy taking it back no problem!
God is doing wonderful things here. On Sunday my team went to the Jordan river for a worship service. While the Jordan river was disappointing what happened there was amazing. The Israeli army let people get baptized in the river. And to make things better there were locals getting baptized and even some who have left their family just to come to Christ. Almost everyone in Palestine is Muslim and to become a Christian means going against your family. And to watch that being taken place was so cool.
Some praises:
All my new friends I am making here
Adjusting slowly to life here
The kids are back
Prayer requests:
Patience when working with the kids and especially for the new one who is not potty trained yet
Health as I have a cough and am losing my voice (too much yelling at the kids…..)
That God will give me words to say
