Whew! What a year! This is where we were at the beginning of the year.
Our front yard on Hill St. in Texas
We have a lot of great memories around this table!
(I’m not posting a picture of us at the airport on the way to Israel. It’s just too sad. All the pictures are filled with people crying!)
This was our first meal in our new apartment in Jerusalem….on a piece of plywood!
And we quickly got busy doing this!
And this…..
And this…..
And this…..
Walking on the Old City Walls
We had a great group of interns for the summer and had lots of fun together!
We helped with the Elav Youth Conference outside of Tel Aviv in August. We saw many lives radically changed and healed!
My biggest surprise of the year was when my girls and two grandsons showed up in my house one day, and I had no idea they were coming! My…. how the tears flowed!
We made a quick trip to Egypt in July.
The girls stayed for two weeks. Two glorious weeks!
This is the day this summer when Rachel Baker came to stay with us for three months! We love her so much!

This has been an incredible year, and we are forever grateful for all the the precious saints in our lives who have made it possible for us to serve Yeshua in the Land that He loves. We are excited about what 2010 will bring!

These pictures made me cry, especially Yom Kippur at the wailing wall and how I loved seeing your folks there! Thank you Jerri for taking the imte to write and share Israel. To think of being there catches my breath away. One day – one day.
