After about 30 straight hours of travel, we arrived safely to St. George's College in Jerusalem late yesterday afternoon. Our bags are still enjoying a leisurely route to us, but we are hopeful to see them sometime this morning. Paul and Kristi were the first of our group to greet us, and they too had their own hiccups, but made it safely to St. George's. We are looking forward to a great pilgrimage together.
Last night, St. George's hosted us to an opening Eucharist in the cathedral chapel, a reception, and a wonderful dinner. After about four or five straight meals that had been served to us on trays or wrapped in cellophane, this was a welcome feast indeed! After dinner we had a short briefing by the college staff on what to expect over the next few days, and made our way to bed quickly after the evening briefing was over.
Today our schedule places us in the classroom for much of the day with orientation and lectures about what is to come. We will venture out with a bus tour of the city and a walk through the old city of Jerusalem later this afternoon.
Love to you all; we are grateful for all your thoughts and prayers.
Bryn & Chris Caddell
