April 15 (Leah's)

  This morning was Easter Sunday and so we celebrated with the Church. There were quite a lot of people there, including quite a few foreigners. We enjoyed singing songs about the resurrection and the temporary Pastor from England preached a kind of confusing sermon. It started off well, but then we got lost to what he was talking about. After Church Beshara dropped us off and we got some pita and bread from the market for a very simple lunch. I did a work out and then we just hung around until Beshara picked us up at 7:30 for coffee. We thought we were going to his house to be with his family, but we ended up at a mall where his family and other members of the church came to have coffee at a Starbucks like place. Since we thought we were going to his house we didn’t bring our money, but that was okay, Spencer served me some water from the free water dispenser! We had some good chats with his one of his daughters. She is interested in film and wants to make good Christian movies- ones that aren’t super corny. We also talked with his wife Lubna about traveling, and they too have done quite a lot. For their 25^th anniversary they are taking the girls to Italy. We also talked with Liz, the girl from Australia who is with YWAM Holland, and she surprised us by giving us $20 AUS to help in our missions, that was pretty special! Beshara drove us all to our homes and we spent our last night in Nazareth.
