8April2019 Quickshot: Green

No exactly how you picture the Middle East.  Recent rainfalls have turned the brown-scape into green-scape which means all our neighbors are outside enjoying the beauty of this place.   
Above is an example of several families spending a Friday afternoon in an olive grove.

3April2019 Visitors

We've had visitors this week, which is not uncommon.  Thankfully teams and volunteers come here quite often  Let's put it like this.  Our local airport had 6 million passengers last month so if the guards and parking attendants know you by name, it's possible you're at the airport alot.  However, these folks are different in that they come from our hometown.  You want to talk about putting wind in your sails?!  We have been so encouraged, loved on, blessed and energized.  It has been such a privilege to show our friends some of our favorite places, introduce them to some of our neighbors and share some of our favorite foods. Thank you to our visitors, for those that sent and supported them, for those who sent us goodies and for those who are prayed for our time together.  We truly are grateful.
