June 9, 2019 Bethlehem Branch

Lee and I spoke in the Bethlehem Branch today.  There was one member of the branch there, plus the branch president and his wife and her cousin and wife.  It was a lovely meeting, and taking the Sacrament in such an intimate setting is lovely too.  I took pictures of the parking lot that we parked in before going through the security building--as we pass from Israel into the Palestinian territory (Bethlehem). 

Then we walked to the church building:

After the meeting Pres. Spendlove took us and his family to see the WALL that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem.  Apparently, Banksy, and other graffiti artists have painted all over the wall.

There is a building that is called "The Walled Off Hotel" (a play on words for Waldorf Hotel) which has a museum in it.

Next door is the Wall-Mart, which mostly sells spray paint, so you can go pain the wall.

And just so you know that we have real lives too, after getting back from Bethlehem, we went grocery shopping, did the laundry and ironed shirts (while HE who will remain unnamed took a nap :)
