Israel Trip April 2008

Well to close out this trip Tammy and I will say that it was the greatest highlight of our lives

Today I traveled to Kanna to see the archeological site, that I understood from Gideon was where the Pots that Jesus used to turn water to wine had been found.. 

Shalom everyone!  We are doing well here in Israel, having a great time and learning so much about the land, the people and Gods word. I told Tammy this morning that I had to share some of my thoughts with all of you! Tammy is resting in the room, the kids are taking riding lessons from Eitan

The last thing I wrote about was our trip to mount Karcom.. We had joined the Jeffery Larson group in Jerusalem.. leaving our car at the Olive Tree hotel. We, the group,  had spent the entire morning out in the extreme heat of the desert and now  were traveling from the southern end of Israel all the way to the Sea of Galilee.. so to save time for the group we had them drop us Stinsons at Emmaus.. 

Hello dear friends!

What an exciting and fulfilling time we are having here in Israel!  Last Thursday we traveled from the Sea of Galilee to a small town called Rishon La??

(sometimes I have a hard time spelling these Hebrew names : ))   On the way we stopped on Mount Carmel were Elijah asked the Lord to burn up the water soaked offering.. to prove Gods power to the people.. The views from there are unbelievable and if the Lord is willing, and I can find a sim card reader today.. I plan on sending some pictures this week so you get a small idea of how it looks.. you just have to be here to get it.. : ))

Here is some background on how Byron, Tammy, and 3 grandkids wound up in Israel for 7 Weeks!
