My FRIENDS VISIT


January 10, 9:00 PM. Jon and Jamshid Aflaooni arrived from U.S to Haifa for 3 days visit. Exactly 11 months since the last time we met in Turkey on February 2008.
Since they arrived on that night we started hanging out until 1:30 AM and the latest was 2:30 AM and get up at 10:00 AM. I let them visit their friends that are still serving at the World Center and friends that they already know back home that are now serving at the BAHA’I WORLD CENTER, while i'm preparing their food for dinner.
Also Paul and Ali Javid ,their cousin who came for 9 days pilgrimage, and that's the reason why Jon and Jamshid came to Holy land to join them for last 3 days of their pilgrimage.
Second day, Jon and I went to the Arc to show some development of the area that I’m responsible with and to the area that he were responsible with for over 2 years as a leader of one of the gardens crew, then after lunch we went to Akká, then to the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh afterwards.
Third day, it’s a rest day, but Jon and Jamy continuing their schedule, they went to Akká and Bahji.
Fourth Day, their last day of visit, the day when Ali and Paul join them including me to go to Bahji and walked around the gardens for their last time, who knows when this going to happen again.
All of us went to Tel-Aviv, spent time together, hanging out along the beach, eating, and dancing on the street every time we hear music specially Paul, showing us his hip-hop moves, and I really enjoyed the company of this two strange brother.
Ali and Paul Depart Israel the next day at 6:00AM.So we stay late ‘till 3:00AM and take them to the Airport. Then the following day, Jon and Jamy time to say goodbye to these special friends of mine and go back to their home sweet home.
