I feel so blessed to be in Israel during the month of December. I love exploring the history that is here, the evidence of Jesus being present here. I am in awe. I crave to know more. Of course our time here has looked a bit different. We arrived in Arad to only stay for a couple of days. On Monday, we sat with our packs ready to move to the North and live with the Bedouins, only to find out we were staying one more week in Arad. This is the story of our lives, but we are always prepared to go with the flow. It ended up being a blessing. We sat through biblical teachings from our contact, swam in the Dead Sea (about 20min from where we are), I participated in my first Shabbat dinner, we saw a herd of camels led by little boys on donkeys – Oh and speaking of donkeys we hit one with our bus – yes it was tragic. All in all, time here has been amazing and tomorrow hopefully we will be on our way to live among the Bedouins…..
