betlehem at last!

ive been sick, and missed two visits to betlehem cause of that.
but today, finally, went!

but to start from an earlier point,
we met than guy working for UN, and that was interesting!
again God introduces us to someone who knows interesting things
and wants to share them with us :)
also went with him to the holy schepulture (oh whatever something like that) church.
you know, where they think Jesus was crusified and buried and all of that.
a lot of fancy stuff there. shrines shrines.
he did tell an interesting fact, that its a muslim, who is in charge of the locking of the door.
that is cause in the time muslims invaded jerusalem it was a muslim as well.

yesterday was one of laziest days so far. though i was sick as well, so couldnt even do anything. we just watched movies. finished actually one of them today. quite a romantic doze it was.
after that spoke a bit with susanne ( a finnish volunteer here at the centre ) about the complexity of dating and so on. though she is already married. this topic has been coming to the discussions quite often while our stay in here. even had some cruel and good jokes around it. its been fun :)

today went to betlehem. we saw boulos, who works for ywam in betlehem. we joined him in the church he goes to. and were really happily surprised to see two of "our own youth" there as well :) that was so great. we saw the boy, who cant come to the meetings here in jerusalem, cause he is 16. the permission hasnt yet come. after the holidays they say.
i also heard i look 12 year old. and well, we did have an awful giggling scene in the church with tytti, launched by twin babies. sometimes we might act like 12 as well.

after the service we went to boulos' home and had dinner with his family. have i recently said that i like arabic people?

and it seemed that the stuff about not being able to go to the west bank and move out there wasnt true. so all safe and sound here.
