The Easter sunrise service at the Garden Tomb was over at 8:30am so we strolled back to JUC, walking around the perimeter of the Old City. The photo is taken just a short distance from campus. We crawled back into our unmade beds and took a nap before the BBQ and party on the JUC lawn at 3p. All of the staff and students, those living on & off campus, came for a feast of barbecued kabobs (thanks to Tim & Dr. Wright), assorted veggie dishes & salads, and delicious desserts! That's Abby helping Diane Wright serve iced tea & lemonade. Always the willing & cheerful servant, she is . . . and her husband!
It was a beautiful afternoon. Several of the students had manicured the lawn and pruned the garden. Children of some of the married students were there to enjoy an easter egg hunt. There were games and plenty of food & relaxed conversation to go around . . .
It was the perfect ending to a perfect Easter Sunday in Jerusalem!
Shalom y'all

Hello from Huckabay! What a wonderful way to spend Easter. I so enjoy reading your blog. I feel like I am on this journey with you and am learning so much just from reading and seeing your pictures.
Thanks good neighbor! Yep, it's a wonderfully amazing experience, but . . . we're homesick. We're gonna make the most of our remaining time here, returning to Huckabay mid-May!
Love to you, Pat & the kids!
Shirley & Nat
