Live From Around the World

No Internet Zone

July 27, 2010, Israel

Via texts from Bryan Appel, Youth Minister

Thanks to everyone for your prayers each day and for keeping up with the blog. The troops are well. We apologize for being absent for a couple days. We were split up in Bethlehem last night and today are in a major No Internet Zone in Nazareth. We will blog again when we have access!

Editor's Note: Below are a few new photos from the other day that came through a bit delayed. Hope it's enough to tide you over for a bit!

Bryan, is the No-Internet Zone because there is not satellite signal or is it a Security thing?
I hope all is well.
Sounds like everyone is having a great time…...
Wish I could be there (Dad)
Mom wishes she could, too, if she could cross the ocean by car.
LOL
Can’t wait to see you when you get back!

I just can’t wait until you are all home!  Thank you Bryan!  The blog has been fabulous and I would have never known how you were doing without the daily reports,  which I will miss!

I hope to come to Richmond and meet every single person! 

With love and prayers, and I will pray when you travel home to this wonderful country.  With so much love!

So great to see the photos and hear from Bryan!  The traveler in me was saying “all is well, they are just too busy to blog…”, but the mom in me was screaming “where are they? are they okay?? where are the photos? where are the blog updates?” Yes, we all are a little addicted here. You’ve spoiled us with your constant stream of news and beautiful postings on what sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Always thinking about all of you and praying for your continued safe and adventurous travels.

Bryan: Had to laugh as my Internet was down, so (luckily) I didn’t ‘feel the pain’ of not being able to get the latest news while you guys are in Bethlehem & Nazareth. Can’t wait to hear about both, AND I can’t believe we are going to see all of you in a few days. Love and a blessing from all of us to all of you. BD

Thanks for the update Bryan, I can’t believe how addicted I’ve become to the blogs and pictures of the pilgrims. Our prayers are with you. Find an internet zone soon.
