oh the days go

Im still here. in Jerusalem.
almost too good to be true.

one awesome thing is, that a friend of mine, Niilo is
in the israeli army at the moment. we saw him the day before,
and first of all it was so nice to see him, and then so interesting
to listen to his stories. he knows quite a lot, and of course has some
different perspectives to issues.

we took niilo with us when we went to see the youthgroup for the first time.
we are going to work with these young people. tytti maybe even more, cause
she will lead a kings kids group for them.
but oh, thay just stole my heart, such passionate, lively people!
and something to pray about, a young boy from the pales area has been
coming to the group, but now as he turned 16 the law says he cant come to israeliside
anymore without a given permission.

thursday started nicely, we had breakfast with a finnish lady who is here for holidays.
she shared some amazing stories from her life, and we prayed for her.
she also prophesied a bit for me. a light breakfast that was..

then we went to the old town, planning on going to the wailing wall (still havent seen the dome of the rock and that) but we got stuck to the bazaars. we met a really nice salesman, and ended up sitting with him for two hours. and it was almost like therapy, how he asjked things about us and our culture and challenged us. talked for example about the differences in familylife. its so cool how God let us to him, and spoke to us through him. and he a muslim :)

and yeah, I ate my first falafel. and some hummus.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - - Matthew 5:6-10
