Elizabeth with a friend from the Worship Center.

One stop we were able to make was to visit our friends at the Worship Center in Evanston, whose prayers of support have strengthened us throughout our time in Palestine. They have been continuing their sister-church relationship with First Presbyterian Church of Wilmette, where we also got another brief chance to drop in.

Marthame with First Presbyterian’s pastors.

After visiting them and having taken care of a few items of import (and some of no import at all), we headed for Texas, ambitiously setting out after evening rush hour, planning to drive late into the night. We didn't even make Springfield. Apparently the jetlag was more than we thought.
