HOME AS WE LEFT IT!It’s hard to believe that we’ve been home for over a month already. We arrived at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on July 1 at 5:45 a.m. after a very pleasant direct 12-hour flight via Air Canada from Tel Aviv to Toronto. Fortunately we ran into no major problems leaving Tel Aviv and arrival in Canada also went smoothly. We forced ourselves to stay up all day enjoying a reunion with our daughters and family later in the day.
Since then life has been busy and at times hectic as we were thrown immediately into the issues and responsibilities that we’d left behind nine months ago. Our first task was to prepare a power point presentation on our experiences in Palestine to be given the following week at our Synod Assembly in London, Ontario. We’ve also been booked for several other presentations during the coming fall and we look forward to sharing our experiences with as many people as possible.
Our first intentions were to finally, after such a long hiatus, write a concluding entry to our blog. However, we’ve decided to continue, for a time at least, with reflections from this side of the world. We’ve decided that it might be worthwhile to try to present our perspective on news as we receive it here in Canada as well as any direct news from friends in Jerusalem. Hope you’ll continue to follow the occasional articles.
To those of you in Jerusalem and the West Bank, we want to express our gratitude for sharing your lives with us during our stay. To those of you at home, we appreciated your support while we were away. We look forward to maintaining both friendships throughout the years ahead.
