Day 11 Mt carmel

Bless God for another day in Israel. This morning we climbed up mountain Carmel. We hiked up some rough terrain to the top. It was 3 miles and took us 3 hours. We felt so great to have climbed up here and were going to eat lunch and the bus will pick us up. Thank God for the bus! Ouch, communication error and no bus around. No problem here since we are seasoned hikers so down the mountain we hike again. My left knee was all back and blue and felt like someone put a knife to it. At first i couldn't even touch it due to the severe pain. Not sure what the problem was. Feels better tonight.

We ate our lunch on the bus and headed for Jerusalem. We visited a beautiful terrace olive garden and had some great teaching while sitting on the rocks. After the lesson, we built a wall.

We arrived at the old city just in time to experience the Jews dancing with the rabbi as they went to the western wall to pray and sing. What an awesome experience! The passion was a sight to behold. Several of us went down to the wall and put our hand on it and prayed to God in the name of our Messiah! The whole group was clearly moved by their passion!

The first picture was looking down the Jezreel Valley from Mt Carmel. In the distance to the right is the valley of Armageddon. Picture 2 is the mountain in the distance. Picture 3 is the street through the old city. This is how the street looked where Jesus carried his cross. Picture 4 was taken while they were praying at the western wall. This photo was a no no, but Levi got it somehow. They warned us absolutely no photos on the sabbath. At sun down tonight the sabbath started and go's till sun down tomorrow night.
