Scott and Tiffany in Israel

Still safe in Haifa

We are still safe. We are in shelters, but the missiles that have hit Haifa are still a long ways from us. Remember that Haifa is a large city. The missiles so far have been aimed at the industrial areas near Haifa Bay. We are very high up on the Carmel mountains.

The movers are supposed to come tomorrow. We don't know if they are still planning on coming. We hope so, because that will help us relax.

Intel is taking care of us and has already offered to move us to Tel Aviv. The BYU Jerusalem Center has also invited us to stay at the center. We will wait until the situation calms down and we can gather our stuff. We already have our suitcases packed and our 72 hour kit ready.

We are not scared, but sad that our stay in Israel is ending this way.

We hear that the members of the church are safe. Many have moved to the Jerusalem Center. We will update you later.
