Happy Father's Day!!!!

In front of the Western Wall!

In the Jewish Corner 

In front of Damascus gate

This was such a fun field trip! We were pretty much going back several centuries to the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm grinding hyssop right now. We later made bread and added this hyssop to olive oil and made a spread for the bread. It's what the shepherds ate.

Me holding a cute lamb. The girl to the right with the sunglasses and blue shirt is Erica and she's awesome!

This is where Mary died. There is a beautiful Christian church right above this.

Me at the garden tomb. A wonderful experience:) I can't believe I was there!

This hill is Golgotha. Where Christ was crucified. We came on a Sabbath and in sacrament we sang "There is a green hill far away" well, we were really close!

This is inside Christ's tomb on the door. The tomb is really small. There's just one spot inside for someone. 

This is Hezekiah's Tunnel! We went here today. it's in the City of David. It's a tunnel that was built to bring the water from the Gehon spring (outside the city wall) to the city. So I was wading in water. It pumps about 100,000 gallons of water a day!

So my claustrophobia wasn't doing too well. I was nervous before we left and I flipped open my Book of Mormon and read a line that said "And Coriantumer marched forth" It was perfect. So I just kept thinking march forth and sang Lead Kindly Light about 50 times and prayed a lot. I did great! I wasn't too nervous which is amazing because as you can see I was in a really really small space! I had to crutch down frequently and had about 6 inches on each side of me. It took about 25 minutes to get through all of it. I went first in my group and just booked it through. I didn't stay with them. I was brave:) haha

Arab Night!!!

Me and my friend Sharla. She is one of my favorites. She served a mission and always makes me feel loved:)

All my roommates

Me and Lauren

Didn't mean to put two of these in...

Service project at the YMCA cleaning out their storage units.

Wanna and my project organizing the craft supplies 

An ashlar (a massive rock). This is possibly the largest building stone weighing 500 tons! How did King Solomon's builders get it into place? I do not know. This is the underground of the western wall. This stone is from the time of Christ.

Stairs going up to the closest location on the wall right outside where the holy of holies were. This is where the Jewish people love to worship.

Service project photo again, out of order sorry.

Me at the closest part of the wall to where the holy of holies used to be in the Jewish temple. It's where the Dome of the rock is today. Jews can't go inside so they have to worship at the wall.

A long tunnel inside.

Hurva Synagogue. This is the first Jewish Synagoge and it has been re-built three times because it kept getting destroyed. It has been re-built to look the exact same as the original.

Over looking the Jewish corner. 

Do you see the Jerusalem Center? A view of Mt. Scopus on the Mt. of Olives

My room! 

My hallway leading to my apartment. 

Right outside my door.

Right when you walk in you see this. My bed is just on the wall you see.

My closet!

Going out to the porch.

On the porch

view from the porch (this is where I do my scripture study in the morning)

Another view from the porch. We are in a Muslim neighborhood. 

And another view.

There are many pillow's just like this that are gorgeous! I want this one. But there aren't any matches so I'm not going to get it. But this is what many of the decorations look like.
