The Winsted's Visit

This February, Ruth Winsted was able to visit us from Jordan for a few days and see some of the sights in Israel. At that time, sharing a room with a fun-loving person my age who has many similar interests resulted in little sleep. This time was no different. An added blessing of the shared fellowship was that she didn't come alone - her parents came with her. Brad and Fawn Winsted are long time friends of the Dukes. They did Darren and Maggie's premarital counseling and have been an example of a godly marriage and family. They were also military attaches, stationed in Tunisia. Now they travel widely, promoting their Bible teaching curriculum and teaching marriage seminars in various churches and conferences.

Although our time together was short, we packed as much sight seeing and visiting with church friends into them as we could. Most of these pictures are from the Galilee where we visited Capurnaum, Megiddo, Banyas, and drove around the mountain villages. It was a little chilly and only threatened, or actually did, rain a couple of times.
