This one worked

The sunset was the best part.

Then we ate at a nice resturant on the beach. Oh how I love Tel Aviv, away from homework and professors.

Tel Aviv!

Then we played Red Rover and I got closed lined and fell hard...it was hilarious

It is a jelly fish, but I think it is dead.

Tel Aviv

We got icecream and just hung at the beach. We could not swim because there were no lifeguards but we had a good time. I am with Eric and John

John got scard..haha...you can see our castle in the back. We tried to make sphinx.

TEL AVIV

Oh how I love Tel Aviv. It is where the airport is where we flew in. A group of 22 of us went. I am in charge of the out of Jerusalem activities so I had to plan it.

We went to Old Jaffa which is known as Jappa in the Old Testament. A really cool city with a lot of markets and fun things to see.

We went to a flea market which is really a REALLY BIG garage sell.

This is in the Garden and our Professor told us the story of when President Hinckley came, looked at this and said "I do pray for the peace in Jerusalem." This made me think- I should too.

Here is Golgatha. It is right by the Garden Tomb. Everything is right in the middle of the city. It is interesting because when you are looking at Golgatha there is so much noise from the streets but when you go further into the garden by the tomb it is quiet, and peaceful.

They know this is the place because of the scull in the rock. Can you see it? Their are writings that they would bring people here to stone them. It was also right by a main rode to other cities which is by people were always crossing Christ while he was on the cross and mocking him.

Here are some better pictures of the Garden Tomb. It is my favorite place to visit so I go almost every Sabbeth day. There are a lot of tourists but it is still peaceful. This is where he was lain.

The door to the Tomb

It is a beautiful garden. There is no big stone but here is a smaller one that represents it.

On a Friday afternoon we decided to explore West Jerusalem while the whole city was getting ready for the Sabbeth. It was raining and so much fun. We went more into the areas where people live and I found these Jews painted on the Wall.

This is where Mary stayed after Christ's resurrection. It is called Dormition Abby. Above her are pictures of famous women from the Bible that have a connection to Christ or saving the Israelites. It was fun to figure out who they were and read their story in the scriptures.

This is King David's Tomb. He was buried in the city of David but then they moved his body where people will come and pray.

This is one of our service projects that we are working on. We are putting together towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs to give to the people that live in the city. It is neat because we got the supplies here and they are going to people here.

This was a going away party for the Allens. They were our Doctors and now their time is up. They are the cutest couple. Even though they advise us not to date this couple is all for it! They always made bets on who would get together. So their last impression on us were the LOVE BUGS, and they gave a big speach about it, it was great. Here is our whole group in our louge area. There are 82 of us. We call this area the DAN JONES (that is the name of our snack bar).

MY HOME

I thought I would show you where I live. There is the Center up on the Mout of Olives. There are continual stairs that go down the hill. It is so beautiful at night.
