Israel Trip Day 7 Friday 3/9/2018 Written by James - my apologies As usual today started early. This was a special day. Today we were on our way to Jerusalem, God’s Holy City.

He spent almost the entire night running to the bathroom! We couldn’t decide if he was sick with the flu or if he had food poisoning!
