Today the Joshua class started by taking a two hour bus ride to the Wilderness of Zin which is commonly known today as Ein Avdat. The Wilderness of Zin is one of the deserts that the Israelites traveled through in Numbers. This is where Moses struck the rock for the Israelites twice so that they could receive water.

Yesterday Bob surprised us with brand new Osprey backpacks, ID batches, and all the things for Israel.
