Touring Jordan

Hi All!
No pictures this time since I am using the community computer in the lobby of our hotel. But, here is what we have been up to...

Tuesday night, we crossed over into Jordan from Israel. Praise the Lord for no problems through passport control!

Wednesday, we walked into Petra (like on Indiana Jones)! It is one of the 7 man-made wonders of the world! It is an entire city carved out of a mountain side! It was so beautiful. We took lots of pictures so I will try to post them asap.
Last night, like Wes mentioned, some of the girls went to a Turkish bath. We thought it was going to be like a spa with massages but it was what it says it is... a bath. It was definately a memory! (Girls, I will fill you in later!)

Today we went to Herrod's palace where John the Baptist was beheaded and to Mount Nebo, where Moses looked into the Promise Land! On Mount Nebo, Dr. Allen preached a sermon from Numbers 20, Deut. 34, and Hebrews 6. It was such a blessing to be in the place where what we were reading took place!

The game plan for the next few days...
Tomorrow we are touring Jarash, Jordan and then heading back into Israel.
Then, the next four nights we will be staying in Nof Ginosar, Israel, touring Galilee.

Again, thank you all for your prayers! We are having a great time and look forward to talking to you soon!
