Today was our first YM/YW (youth) district activity since I was asked to accept this calling when we arrived in Jerusalem. It was a swim party and barbeque in a member’s backyard in Caesarea. They have a pool that is just over the hill from the Mediterranean Sea. Bob and I took Besan Quffa (just graduated from High School and on her way to BYU) from
Jerusalem our branch, and there were leaders and youth from Tiberius and Tel-Aviv. We had a successful evening with about 20 people (youth and leaders). It was fun to watch the 3 girls (Brita, Besan and Maria in picture to the left) get to know each other as they walked along the beach, and traded names and phone numbers/e-mail addresses with each other before they returned home. It had been a long time since the youth had been together and I think they enjoyed it. We plan to get together again soon.
