This week we have been and will take more finals. During our last month and a half we are going to Galilee and Jordan and so most of our classes are ending now. There
Tomb of the Kings: We went to what looked like a construction sight in someone's backyard and were able to see an ancient tomb. It is in the middle of the city and was really cool.
Swarmas: We got them. They're delicious meat wrapped in a big tortilla.
Running in the mornings: The other morning I was heading to the gym and some girls invited me to go out running with them. I've not been running outside of the center boundaries yet. We did a 3.5 mile loop, saw some beautiful overlooks and it felt so good.
The Waffle Bar: A big group of us went out at night and stopped at the infamous "Waffle Bar" where we got a Banana Boom waffle dessert. Wow. It was chocolate fudge sauce, ice cream and banana goodness. :) Definitely going to make these at home.
We also visited a variety of churches and met people that spoke a bunch of our mission languages
I have some great friends here who are soooo good to listen to me and chat whenever I need their help.
Wandering the city with Victoria and Neal: I was feeling really stir crazy because I haven't done anything but eat, workout, study and sleep for DAYS! So, we ordered a van and we went to a big crazy market and just walked around and then wandered the streets of Jerusalem for house. I got to hear all about some of my friends' families and it was really nice. Then we watched this new movie, the "Nativity Story" and I loved it. As we were reading Luke 2 the other day, the realness of Jesus' birth hit me hard. It makes me happy because I want to feel and see things differently. Everyone talked about "how Jerusalem changes them" today in church and I really want to have a change in me.
The Holocaust Museum: Today we went to the Holocaust Museum. It was really graphic. I've been to several similar ones before and so it didn't jolt me like it did others but it definitely got me thinking.
Disclaimer: On the blog I only say the good stuff that happens here. Life is wonderful but not perfect. :)
