Drew, this morning Grandmother and I went to a place north of Jerusalem called Nebi Samwil (pronounced NEB-ee SAM-WILL). The word Nebi means prophet. The word Samwil means Samuel. Some Bible scholars think this was a place called Mizpah in the Bible. Samuel, the last judge of Israel, called all of the people of Israel to Mizpah and judged them (1 Samuel 7:5-6).
Samuel also anointed Saul to be the first king of Israel at Mizpah (1 Samuel 10:1).
We are already at the airport to get our flight for Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you soon. Tell Mom and Dad we said "Hi."
Love,
Granddad
