North Texas faith leader Reverend George Mason joined NBC 5 for a conversation via Zoom from his hotel room on the west side of Jerusalem.
The time is eight hours ahead there, and it was dusk during our interview. Masons said he’s been in constant contact with family and friends in North Texas, assuring them he’s safe amid the chaos.
"We are talking with family via Facetime and Zoom, text, email every kind of way. In fact, it’s just a preoccupation all day long and assuring people that we’re doing okay." “Very soon thereafter, the front desk called and said, ‘I’m sorry we can’t do the laundry because of the difficulties.’ And I said, ‘What difficulties are we talking about?’ And he said, ‘well, turn on the news,’” said Mason.
