On to Nazareth...June 18




After 2 days in Netanya, we drove to Nazareth. We are staying with dear friends, Botrus and Abir Mansour. Botrus is a lawyer and Director of the Nazareth Baptist School. His wife, Abir, is a counselor at the school as well as a million other things. They both work tirelessly into the night, but are also great hosts and great fun to be with. Botrus has stayed with us when he travels to Atlanta as part of his fundraising efforts to help build a new school in another part of town that would allow more children to attend school. They have 3 children, 2 teenagers (Atullah and Lema) and a little girl, May, who is 7. Haley and May were completely taken with each other the moment they met. They giggle and run around talking to each other in their native tongues, oblivious that neither one understands the other. :) May knows the English words "wait' and "no" and uses them quite a bit with Haley. :)
