Week ending 18th March

So what happened last week. After coming fully relaxed and filled with a certain spirit from the spiritual meeting, we had Monday off to come back into the “normal world“. The girls used the free day to go shopping in the ABC Mall, the boys cleaned the apartment in the meanwhile.
On tuesday morning we went quite early at 8 up to Deir el Quamar. Before the service with the girls we visited Beit ed Dine. Lucas and Suzanne got slightly wet, because of some childish Caravanistas. In the home of the girls we had the possibility to visit them in their rooms. We saw loads of new girls. Most of them were just lying their beds and never have any input. So we came and proofed one more time, what an amazing choir we are. The girls really enjoyed this little change in their daily life!
Wednesday we had as usual service in Deir el Salib.
On thursday we had service in Antellias. It was a very musical service. The motto of the service was “Be Hippie“, so we sat all around Maxi, who was playing guitar and sang together songs of Bob Dylan and Co. The boys enjoyed our little Hippie-session a lot and were very comforted be the sweet voices of the Caravan.
On the weekend some of us decided to go with our Dr. Issa to Sourat. They went to beautiful  villages in the mountains and to the famous Tannourine waterfall.


PS Suzie wants to say Happy Mothers Day to all mothers in particular her own mother who reads this blog religiously !!
