Day 4, by new best friends Tori and Kelsee

We started the day at a Lutheran church in Bethlehem, called The Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church. It was an amazing expirence to witness the service in Arabic. In the service, there was also a baptism so that was way cool. From there we traveled to the Nativity Church in Manger Square where we were blessed with the opportunity to see and be in the birth place of our Lord and Savior. Many emotions surfaced throughout the team during a life altering monent. Afterwards we ate lunch at a local restaurant. We later visited a refugee camp. We were taught by a man that has lived in the camp his whole life. We were able to see the wall between Israel and Palestine. After that we walked to dinner and enjoyed social time as a team. We then walked around as a team with the Palestinian women and enjoyed bonding time, playing games, Judy ripping her pants, and of course drinking Starbucks #whitegirls #basic. It was a full day for the GCVB family but also a time of learning and growing together in our personal walks with God. We love and miss everyone that is following us back at home, and we cannot wait to share all ouf our amazing and life changing expirences when we return home. 

Love, 
Tori and Kelsee
