Me and the girls in Yeriho

2/16/2010 - Jeriho




I traveled again to Jeriho today, but instead of doing outreach, I was able to tour around and see some of the sites tourists typically hit. In the morning, I had worship as I will everyday. It was awesome! I love how free and relaxing it is. There is no projector or screen for the words, so Tristan and Mike sing as they feel led and we all go along with them. Also, because our group is so tiny at the moment, you don't have to worry about 'finding a seat' or 'fitting in' or anything like that. Worship is totally personal between you and God and no one interrupts or takes attention away from Him. It's really, really nice.

After church, which ended around 10:30 or so, Kat, Bri, Jeffry and I walked to Ben Yehuda Street and milled around for a while. But I have to say, it might have been THE best day yet for this reason only - I finally found the pants I could not find in the States!!!!! Oh my goodness, they are the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. Actually, when I wear them, it feels like I'm not even wearing pants. Like a skirt, Aladdin pants are very wide. But at the bottom, like pants, there are holes for your feet. I'll add a picture to this post from online...
