Easter Sunday

First of all just a couple of pictures of our street vendors. I've meant to send these earlier! There is no food safe practised here!

Easter Sunday at the Garden Tomb
We had 4 services with the first service starting at 630 am. We opened the door at 6am with approx 500 people waiting in the lane. The first 2 services were in English - total 2100 people, the third service was a Scandinavian service - approx 650 people, and the 4th was a French service for approx 150 people. It was an awesome day. The first service was recorded on www.cbn.com if you want to listen to it.

At the end of the day, Sammy (whose son got engaged and we attended his engagement party) brought dinner for all of us. It is called the upside down meal. They cook chicken or lamb at the bottom of the dish, then rice is cooked on top. When they go to serve it, they turn the dish upside down so the rice is at the bottom and the meat is on the top. It was so delicious.

This next picture is the reason we are here. It is the sign on the door leading in to the tomb.

This will be our last post before we get home. We need to wake up at 3am so we can catch our ride to the airport.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, and your words of encouragement while we have been here. It has been an awesome experience - we can't wait to share it with you.

God Bless,

Shalom,

Hugs and Blessings,

Don and Glenda in Jerusalem
