Do you see how the white area on the hill is thousands of graves? It is incredible to look at. Apparently this is where the resurrection is going to start! Everyone wants to be first in line so they get buried here! Maybe we should look into that...
The Western Wall (often incorrectly called the wailing wall) in the Old City is one of my favorite places!
Sometimes it's strange to see how young the military people are. I see girls my age and younger holding massive weapons and it freaks me out a little. Everyone is required to give military service.
Sara, Angela, Nate, Me, Stehly, Megan, Rachel, Brooke, Rachel, and Avery on the Rampart walk around the Old City. We walk on top of the wall! Cool.
I am enchanted by the Dome of the Rock.
Here I am at the Center of the Universe. But I didn't have to tell you that...
Pools of Bathesda! One of the most beautiful gardens ever!
This looks nothing like the paintings depict it but I like it anyways!
Important ancient Christian site? Build a church right next to it!
The Garden Tomb.
This sign on the door is the best news and the most important part of this site:
Apparently I'm not the only one who went to Old Navy! I think 3 other girls have this same skirt too.
L'Angel, me, Melinda, and Robin at the Bedouin women's weaving tent! This was the coolest thing ever. Bedouins are nomadic people and the Church has helped fund this business for the women! They are master weavers.
It looks like hard work.
The enormous tent we were sitting in is made from camel hair and wool. So beautiful.
Rachel and I. She is one of the faculty member's daughters, we love having her around. The faculty families are so wonderful.
I wanted so badly to buy some of the products of these women but they are rather expensive and I don't have a house to decorate yet!
We practiced wandering in the desert. This gives new meaning to the groanings of Laman and Lemuel.
Maddi and I. We conquered that desert!
Ancient baptismal font.
Even in the middle of the desert. Unbelievable.
