Tomorrow is our last day in Israel. We will attend church at the BYU Jerusalem Center (Sabbath is Saturday here), go to the Garden of Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, Garden Tomb, and Orson Hyde garden. It will be a full day, but awesome! Then we will board our bus around 6 pm for the airport in Tel Aviv. Our flight leaves at 12:40 a.m. We arrive at PDX Sunday at 12:15 p.m. (Of course, there is a 10 hour time difference.) Due to the challenges of the trip out, we both feel a bit anxious about how things will go on our return. We’d like to ask for extra prayers so Mark will have a good trip back.
Monday, Mark has an x-ray at 10:30 am, and an appointment with Dr. Urba 11:30 am. We’ll find out how well the Zelboraf is continuing to work. He is feeling very well, other than tiring easily. His heart is always in A-Fib now - irregular heart beat, but slower that it was before - around 85 beats per minute.
Although we've had a marvelous time here and have learned so much, we are ready to come home!

These few pictures that you have posted are a wonderful glimpse into your experience. I'm anxious to see more! (I especially like the picture of you, Ane, by the wall with the flowers. :) It's like a postcard.) We will definitely be thinking of you over the next couple of days as you experience some of the highlights of your trip tomorrow and then make your way home.
ReplyDeleteWe will welcome you back to Portland and thank you for sharing your incredible journey to the Holyland. We look forward to hearing good news after Mark's visit to the Dr. on Monday. We also want to hear more about your trip. Our prayers are always with you!
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers for a safe and comfortable travel home. So glad you were able to go :) -The Dicksons
