Update from the middle of nowhere!!!

Shalom!  I have just walked (with Kerrie Curbow and Kathe Tapp) to a nearby park near our hostel to find free wireless internet.  It is kinda comical...we are sitting on a stone driveway because it is the only place we are getting a signal.  We don't even know what town we are in anymore. We have been so many places today that we can't even keep up.  Today has been one of my favorite days.  We started the day at 8:30 at Beer Sheva which is the town where Abraham and Isaac's family lived.  The first covenant was made here as well as a war in 1917 by the Germans and Turks.  Then we went to Ben Guirron's home (the first prime minister of Israel and died in 1973...don't worry....I didn't know who he was either but apparently he was a big wig)!  The next stop was one of my favorites of today...the wilderness of Zin.  This is where the Israelites wandered in their 40 years and within 100 yards (and possibly the exact spot) where Moses strikes a stone and it becomes water (you would be amazed if you saw this wilderness)!  We hiked about 1-2 hours and over 500 steps to get to the top of this canyon and then looked out over the whole thing....breathtaking!!!!  Then we went to Avdat, the place of one of the first Messianic Jew churches and we found old pottery and glass from Roman time period.  It was called Nabetean pottery and apparently it is very expensive pottery.  It is also the trade route of gold, francincense and myrrh.  The last stop we went to was a Bedouin tent.  We just stopped at a random bedouin community off the side of the road and they brought us into their home and served us tea and coffee and the women made us homemade bread!  It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life!!!!  We asked the lady to take a picture with us and later we were told that she felt honored that we asked her.  It made our day!  We are staying at a youth hostel tonight at the edge of a cliff and it is beautiful.  We are about to eat dinner and off to another busy day tomorrow.  I can't remember if tomorrow night is the night we are camping out so if so, I will obviously not update.  But it might not be and as long as I can get the net, I will update.  Pray for safety on the hikes (another one tomorrow) and that we don't dehydrate. It is very dry here and during the day it gets really hot.  I hear that yall are cold at home...sorry.  We will try to send some sunshine and warmth your way! :)
