Our First Day In Israel


We arrived safely in Israel after a 14 hour non-stop flight from Los Angeles. The service on the plane was excellent and the people at Tel Aviv airport equally as nice.


Randy, our guide from IBEX, warmly welcomed us and on the bus ride to Jerusalem he explained the biblical history of the different valleys that we traveled through.


The first photo was taken from just outside our hotel at Ramat Rachel. Yesterday Israel celebrated its 60th anniversary and there are flags flying everywhere - even up on top of this monument!


We have a great view of Bethlehem from the balcony of our room! Today we will spending the day in Jerusalem.


Please pray that we adjust to the time zone difference ( we are 10 hours ahead of CA time). We are excited and grateful to be here!
