Finally leaving LAX after an ordeal of rescheduling the flight, retaking PCR and getting the new passport an all. The very first flight with Turkish Air.

On the screen, they provide Qur’an with the information on which way is Mecca and the next appointed time for the prayer. This attitude towards prayer! I need to learn from this.

After a 13 hour flight, we arrived in Istanbul. There was a stopover of 5 hours. We checked in a hotel inside the terminal, where you can stay on hourly basis. We were able to shower and slept a little on a real bed.

We then hopped on another flight of a little less than 2 hours to Tel Aviv.

The videos I usually watch is only about Israeli wilderness, but of course Tel Aviv is a huge metropolitan. Entering Israel was much easier than expected, and after PCR test, we met Hana and Amilie from Shevet, and they drove us to Ashdod.

With the Passport have not been issued in time for the original flight, we a little worried about God’s plan, but He delivered us smoothly to Shevet Achim. Momo and I received huge encouragement from the God’s Word on the Sunday church service right before the departure.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
