Final Day

As I write this our children and grandchildren are flying home. Ken and I are staying an extra day just to download the memories of our time celebrating our 50th anniversary with everyone in Israel. Words will never be able to express our joy we experienced these last ten days. We have planned and thought about this trip for the last year and a half, everything we dreamed about came true. We know we have created memories to last a lifetime and we pray lives that will be changed because of a deeper understanding of God's epicenter, Israel.

Here are just a few pictures from the last day, as usual, it began early and was packed full of history and inspiration.

We ended our touring at a Falafal Shop, which Boaz says is the best in Jerusalem, we agreed.

Back to the hotel for final preparations for the trip home.

Our last meeting time together, we each thought of a "word of the trip" to share with each other. It was amazing the one word each person came up with to describe their experience, they then talked about why they choose that word. 

Bethel has been an important part in the life of our family, We wanted to honor Bethel as a token of our appreciation. So our anniversary gift, was a gift to the seminary, It is gratifying to see how they are committed to the training of people to share the gospel of Jesus to others.

Our final dinner was together at the hotel, their service has been great, Brian, Brennan and Chris, are gluten free,The chef would come out each night and let them know what they could eat. We had some happy people!

Those that weren't gluten free, were happy too!

As the bus pulled away, we couldn't have been prouder of every person there. Each have enriched our lives and we will be forever grateful for this journey to the Land of Israel. 

Shalom,

Barb and Ken Larson
