From Holy Land Tour Day 6 2 15 09


The day began with worship at the English speaking service at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, in Jerusalem. 9 am service. Marta Erling was to meet me at the service, but she fell ill and needed to stay home.

Michael Powel is an intern from Trinity Seminary--he is Rod and Sherry Rinell's nephew. What a surprise to meet him in Jerusalem. We chatted after worship in the courtyard. There were many people from around the world at this service.

We shopped for a while and then went back to the church of the Holy Sepulcher to see some of the sights and not be rushed. It was amazing.

We ate lunch and then headed to David Tower museum.

A couple of us took the Rmparts walk--walking on the wall, we went from the Jappa Gate to the Damascus Gate.

Then we walked back through Jerusalem through the bazzar market.

WE stopped and picked a few more gifts and headed back to the hotel for supper and a good nigths rest.
