Life on the ground in Israel

I have decided what I am going to wear

Shabbat Shalom.

What a week!  I always think I am ready for the tour and then something happens and I start all over again.  We were filming Tuesday and Wednesday for the new Ezekiel series, so the week was really packed with activities.  We went back for filming on Thursday, which was unexpected, but the series is now done and is in editing.

I have packed Will’s bag with the usual: pecans, Karo syrup, and pie crusts.  I am taking a smaller bag for him this time, so there is not room for the mac and cheese and tuna.  That will have to wait for the Fall tour.   Still, lots of goodies for him.

I must confess that I get so excited getting ready for Israel.  I am hoping the weather will be nice.  It could go either way… hot and very hot.

My bags are almost packed.  Let’s just say that I have decided what I am going to wear, and that is the biggest challenge for me.   I will finish Saturday night.

My grandson, David, graduates from High school Saturday afternoon and I am looking forward to that.  What a milestone in his life.  He is off to Texas Tech.  As an Aggie mother, I am sure, we will have some interesting football watching to do together.

I will leave Sunday for Israel and arrive Monday afternoon.  The group gets in on the 10th, so I will have a week to see things and eat at the wonderful restaurants I have come to think of as home.  My B&B awaits me.

Please pray for travel mercies for me and for the group.  We will have almost 100 people.  I must thank Immanuel Tours in advance for their hard work.    They are just the best.

I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me this time.  It is always an exciting adventure with Him.

    Shalom Sandra,
    I have a wonderful experience to share with you!
    My pilgrimage May 17-28 with the Denver Biblical School to the Holy Land was memorable and included a discussion on the bus from point A to point B:
    I brought up Zola Levitt Ministries and how helpful they had been to me over the years to my convert friend Thomas Smith, Hal Ronning, our Lutheran guide and David Minai our driver who had worked for your ministries for many years. We all sang the praises of Zola and how much we miss him.
    Keep up the good work!!!
