We have put on the armor of God. We finished packing by 11: 15 PM and are ready to go. We had a busy week hosting ELCA missionaries Oyebades from Nigeria. On Friday during the Synod Assembly of the Northern Illinois Synod of the ELCA, Bishop Wollershiem commisioned us as E.L.C.A. Medical Missionaries and blessed us. All the people assembled promised to pray for us. On Saturday we attended the dance recital of our grand daughters, Hannah, Sophie and Lily. They all performed well, had smiles on their faces and appeared confident and competent. It was a delight to watch them dance.
On Sunday we met Sandhya's Dad Philji and had dinner at India House Restaurant in Rockford. Many members of our family attended and we bid them fond farewell and they wished us bon voyage. So off we go to Jerusalem. Shalom
