Just arrived in Jerusalem about an hour ago from Tel Aviv. It was an hour drive in a schrute. A schrute is like a shuttle system that seats about 13 passengers. I already feel a connection with the land here and it seems that there are different people that say maybe we'll meet in Jerusalem.
Earlier today we went to Netanya. We met up with a congregation that also does work as a distribution center for holocaust survivors. From about 9am to 9pm we set up tables and things we would give away. Things from coffee to soup mix to hand towels. It was really nice to be able to serve those that have endured so much hardship and suffering. Serving the holocaust survivors was also rewarding in itself because of the joy it brought to them in a practical way.
One road block that I have ran into is that some of the money exchange places won't except Scottish pounds which are the same is British pounds. So hopefully I'll be able to take care of that in the morning. One of the girls on this trip has family in Israel and we are staying with them for the time in Jerusalem.
I'm writing this from their little netbook because we don't have the internet password yet. So hopefully soon I will have pictures up on the blog. Please keep praying for our finances. We are still short on ground fees and I am still in need of plane tickets to Australia and Kona.
