What a treat we have gotten the past couple of days to spend with our dear friends from Israel...Yoni and Daliah . Yoni was my tour guide in Israel when I went in 2000 and again when Jay and I went this past April. Jay has been leading the LHBC Israel trip for 5 years now and has gotten to know Yoni and his family very well. He is an American believer living and working in Israel for the past 20 years and has a beautiful family that we have gotten to know over time. They are some of the most Godly people we have ever met and Jay and I consider it an honor and a privilege to spend time with them while they are passing through. They are in the states for 2 months while visiting family and friends. Last evening we went to hear Yoni speak at a local church. This morning Jay and Yoni went fishing at 5:30 a.m. (something Yoni was dying to do) and they caught quite a few! Then his family came over (wife and 4 kids under the age of 7) and we ate lunch together, swam, laughed and played. They left late this afternoon and Jay and I had tears in our eyes as they drove away. There is just something about knowing you aren't going to get to see someone for a really long time and to see them just drive away! We parted ways by saying..."Until next time..."
This is Brayden and their youngest...it looked as if he is proposing!
She found the dress up stash and was having a blast!
Jay and Yoni...what a mischevious pair!
