Wow!

We are in Germany waiting for the bus to take us to the airport.

I had a difficult time with the internet service at Jerusalem. It is $17 a day there and after five days that ads up. I will have to post pictures and comments when I get back to America.

It is very expensive in Germany. The American dollar is worth fifty cents. Where in Israel it is worth three times the amount of the shekel. Breakfast at the hotel we stayed in at 5:30 this morning was $26.00. Now three and a half hours later it is $32.00.

When they know you are Americans, there are dollar signs in their eyes.

Two days ago we went to the upper room for a brief church service. Well. . . the Holy Ghost fell and we worshiped for an hour. It only seemed like about twenty minutes. I found out later that PBS was in Jerusalem doing a documentary and that when we started worshiping they hurried up to the top to catch all the action. Well the military beat them there. In all there were 47 soldiers that responded to a all the noise. Israel is such a war torn country that when they hear people screaming the military has an immediate response.

Brother Walls the main tour guide said that he went out side to talk to PBS to answer questions. He also authorized them to take as much footage as they wanted. They took their liberty. I was oblivious to all that was happening. I remember feeling watched and peeked out one eye and thought I saw Brother Baumiester taking a picture of me with a very big camera. I just ignored him and went on getting the blessing of my life. I was surprised to hear that it was a PBS camera in my face.

They just called for us to load the bus
