in the middle east

Well, Jessica and I have returned from our three week adventure with friends in Jerusalem and traveling abroad in Jordan and Egypt. We're so glad to be back "home" here in Jerusalem. So, now we have a backlog of things to tell y'all about, so let's begin at the beginning. Our friends from Blackhawk arrived on Feb 2, the Henderson's stayed until the 7th, the Dolson's and Anderson's until the 11th. We had a wonderful time together, made great memories, and became more familiar with the situations of poverty and oppression caused by the conflict here. I've compiled some photos that are representative of their time here, arranged in roughly chronological order. I think the team was able to go home with a more intimate knowledge of the issues that grip this land as well as its amazing and layered history.
