I learned that you say the name of this town like this: Cuh-far-nuh-hoom. It’s fun saying it.
At our first location, Rama, we had to climb a huge hill to get to our apartment. It was not fun.

We spent some time in Nazareth Village, a place where they reenact what it was like in Bible times.
This was the shepherd.
Here I am using a bible times drill.
My team and me at the Mount of Precipice.

The two amazing 17-year-olds I taught in Rama.

My team leader, Jodi; my squad leader, Caroline and me. Why yes, I did find a Cubs shirt in Israel.
Aubrey and I playing hot potato during an English class intermission
These girls are so fun. They are both 13 years old and really good at learning English.
And laughing at my attempts at speaking Arabic.
Another one of Samer, my favorite. 🙂
