    Grandma Judy and Grandpa Harold,

    Sarah sang along with the Christmas songs and liked your dancing. All of the kids liked seeing the place where Jesus was born. What a special treat to be able to go to Bethlehem and Jerusalem! We are so glad that you are enjoying your trip! We love you!

    Love,

    Scott, Julie, Devan, John, Sarah, Aaron, and Kira

    Hello again to our sister Sue, and to all of her fellow travellers. All of you made a fantastic chorus singing those Christmas carols in Bethlehem. Very joyful and enthusiastic! And then you topped it off with that wonderful dancing in the restaurant later on. Great show! Of course, Sue probably told you about her dancing lessons. Not quite the style of dancing that took place that night, but she moved as gracefully as the rest of you. It’s nice to see you all having a good time.

    We’d like to add a special note of thanks to Robyn Lee for those articles she is writing about the day’s adventures. They add much more depth and detail to the videos, and we really appreciate her efforts. Keep up the good work!

    Tommy (Smith),

    I meant to ask you earlier, did they let you drive the boat? 🙂 After the expert way you handled the boat on the turbulant seas of Lake Tahoe, the Sea of Gallilee should be a piece of cake!

    Hello to Libby and Margaret. You all look like you are still having a great time!

    Love and prayers, (Sister) Tessie

    Hi Mom (Margaret), Uncle Tom and Aunt Libby,

    Greeting from another rainy day in Atlanta…..I would love to see the sunshine like you are!

    Once again you look like you are having a fantastic time. It was fun to see you line dancing. I hope you have another great day tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the next video.

    Love you,
    Cindy

    Hi Margie –

    I’m enjoying following you and your fellow pilgrims as you tour the Holy Land. It has to be amazing to actually see the places you’ve only read about until now. I’m sure you’re enjoying the new tastes, too. We hope the rest of your journey is safe and as blessed as the last few days.

    Love you!

    Hello Sue! We are finally following your journey! Long story why the delay. You are so fortunate to have the opportunity to experience all that you have and to follow in the footsteps of Christ our Savior. Looks like you’re eating very well! Can’t wait to hear all about the journey and see all your photos. Our prayers are with you and your fellow pilgrims as you continue your journey and for a safe trip home.
    Love to you – Tom & Marilyn

    Hey there Allen, Here I sit, envious of all of you over there walking where Jesus walked. But I am with you in prayer. Beautiful weather here. Beautiful dancing there. You will have to teach the family when you get home. Paul, thanx for the pix of Allen.
