Trying to catch up...more at the sea

Wow, it's so hard to keep up with my blog. I have a feeling I will till be blogging about the trip when we return home. It's hard to believe that it's already coming up this week that we return to Canada. :( I will be sad to say goodbye.

If you don't mind, I am going to go back again, this time about 2 weeks ago.

20 October
We were part of a prayer meeting this morning at 9am where we joined hands with our brothers and sisters to lift up needs in the congregation, in Israel, and individual needs. It was a special time of prayer. I even stepped out of my comfort zone and joined in prayer in spite of the language barrier.
In the afternoon, we again went to the Mediterranean sea, though this time we ventured out on our own and made it there quite easily! Nathanael went swimming this time, and battled with the waves :) I waded a bit deeper, and Misha cheered us on from the shore.  It was later in the day this time we visited the sea, so was a bit cooler, and there was a beautiful breeze that actually turned quite chilly by the time we left in the evening with the setting sun.

The guys at the sea after one got wet and one stayed dry :)

Little brother and me :)

Misha and I - do I look pregnant here? I can't believe how big I've gotten. Baby is growing!

Here is our shadow :)

Having fun with shadows :)

On our way home, we stopped for pizza! We enjoyed practicing speaking Hebrew with the owners! They were very interested in us and where we were from. We loved the pizza too!

Here is one of the guys who served us - part of the family-owned business. We had cheese pizza with olives...mmm. I have to say I enjoyed it very much!
