Translation and heights

Misha has done some translating from English to Russian here in Haifa, as the congregation has had a guest speaker from Ottawa, Ontario Canada. The speaker has been teaching on family and marriage issues, and Misha has been translating for the Russian-speaking congregation. I must say he has done an excellent job! It's been challenging at times because he is not familiar with the style of speaking of this guest speaker. Sometimes the words and phrases are hard to translate. But, Misha has been learning to not lean on his own understanding, and to be more dependant on the Ruach HaKodesh. The meetings have been Sunday evening through Tuesday evening - both last week and this week. 

A week ago, on Shabbat, we went to Nazareth and spent time with a little congregation that is a daughter congregation to Return to Zion. Misha and I shared our stories - both about his car accident and my battle through cancer - and were able to reach out to many people in the congregation.

Mount of Transfiguration

Following the service, we were taken to see Mount Precipice, the place where Yeshua was dragged by the Jewish leaders to be thrown down a cliff, but He escaped from their hands. It was an awesome sight! It has a complete panoramic view of many sights, including the Mount of Transfiguration, the Valley of Armageddon, and many other beautiful sights! Wow, it was breathtaking!
