We are just finishing our time in Jerusalem and are heading off to Bethlehem this morning. We have spent the last two days touring the Old City, visiting the Holocaust Museum, and avoiding street closures on account of the French Prime Minister staying at the King David Hotel across the street.
Yesterday we also visited a Bedouin work camp and school in the West Bank, a trip that was coordinated by Rabbis for Human Rights. This was a challenging opportunity to hear about the various hardships that face this community, and a very enlightening experience.
Our lack of free internet in Jerusalem has prevented more updates to the blog, but we will be sure to post some updates and pictures before heading home on Friday...

There was a bit of news about rocket attacks on southern Israel in retaliation for a Palestinian killed in the West Bank on Tuesday. Your mission of peace remains timely and urgent!
Keeping you and your mission in our thoughts and prayers,
Colette
P.S. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU HOME ON FRIDAY!!!
Jamie, Kay and Charlie, we are certainly enjoying the wonderful pictures. We miss you and are eager to get your reports. Joe and John are spending the afternoon here and send there greetings! xoxo, m & d (aka G-ma & G-pa)
