Gan Qiryat Sefer

More visiting with friends. Yesterday morning we woke up at the COs house. They woke up at 5:00am! So, I felt bad and went out with them on the balcony and had some coffee. Until I finally woke Chelsea at 7:45 to eat with us.

Then we went downtown Tel Aviv to spend time with our friends who were special pioneering. A young couple around 25 years old. Italian and Israeli couple who just was told they will no longer be special pioneers as of 2 weeks ago. So it was nice to catch up at a brewery!

After them, we went and caught up with our friends from bethel who have been here for 10 or so years. They are from Argentina. We drove to a brewery just a mile or two away from where David killed Goliath. In the valley of Elah. After having some beer here and food we went to ashkalon to watch the sunset. This is just north of Gaza. Apparently there is some sort of sewage leak and the water in the mediterranean Sea has some poopieness to it. Im not 100% sure what’s going on. But some say it’s coming from Gaza 🤷‍♂️

Today has been fun. The start of the new year rosh Hashanah. The Jewish new year. Everything was close except for the beach. So Chelsea and I along with the missionary couple went to the beach up in the north for a relaxing time. After this, we met an Israeli couple from Haifa Hebrew congregation. We used to spend a lot of time together. So we went for some dinner and chats. They have been thru a lot during Covid so it was a nice time to build eachother up.
As of a few weeks ago. The husband was just appointed as an elder! So nice to see him reaching out despite some challenges.

Tomorrow is another day! So, we go to sleep for now. Chat soon!Read more
