Well, the first part of the trip is over. The rest of the in depth study tour group flew out of the country about 8 hours ago, and so I'm here in a hostel by the Damascus gate in Jerusalem. It's strange to be on your own after having almost 50 people to talk to all the time. Well, I say "on your own," but I'm not really. God continues to be with me and provide for me.

I suppose today I'm going try and take in a bit more of Jerusalem. I'll probably find a park and start trying to learn the Hebrew alphabet, since I think I'm supposed to know that when I start class on the 22nd. That's all for now I suppose. God is gracious.

Hey Joe! ...its Joe, just wanted to check in on you. I saw that you won't be makin it the the movie night this Friday, just save your excuses for later...it sounds like you're having a great time over there. I'd have to say I'm still a bit jealous. I can't wait to hear all about it in person. I've been trying to remember to pray for you, but I can't say I've remembered everyday..but i'll try harder. Hope you have fun these next few days hanging out in Jerusalem, be careful. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that your heart may be enlightened and that you would know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of His power at work in you. Grace and peace brother.
