This is one of my favorite paintings that i've come across. It's housed in the Augusta Victoria chapel atop the mt. of olives. Palm Sunday
Bro Skinner - I had no idea that when i signed up to come to the Jerusalem teacher that I'd get to be taught by the greatest scholars around. Here Bro Skinner is probably teaching us about the significance of the western wall and what the temple mount looked like back in Jesus' day.
A prayer in the western wall - not to brag (but i'm totally going to) but my picture taking abilities are getting pretty good these days.
This is one of the sealed off entrances that the ancient Jews use to use to enter the temple mount. Its also where the Savior healed the blind man with a little mud (thats my version of the story).
Oscar night - Brad Pitt and Johnny Cash w/ our entourage. Beccs, me, Calli, Russ, Kat, Raven.
Brangelina
Kellyn, me, Emily on the sea of Galilee
Rachel, me, Candice - 2000-year-old Ginnosaur Boat
Mt. of Beatitudes
Once again, showcasing some photo skills - i think this is a pic of a girl praying in the church of the loaves and fishes in Tagba.
Mt. of beatitudes from afar. This is a little more like what i imagined it would look like.
Bro Masters and I right before i shaved my moustachio. At its peak there was about 10 dudes growing moustaches. Right about when Masters jumped on board, we shaved them off. He's still rocking it though. I'm not going to lie, I miss the moustache. It is a choice patch of hair. What a sensation it is when the lip hair is gone though - its like sliding in the covers after you shave you legs... but with your lip instead of your legs.
The oldest synagogue in the world. Actually I don't know if it is, but it is pretty old - it is also a synagogue that Christ most likely taught in. A little town called Gamla just above the Galilee. Gamla is the sight where a bunch of Jews jumped off the cliffs above the city in order to escape being captured and/or slaughtered by Roman soldiers.
Chowing down on my St. Peters fish. Chasing it down by eating the eyes.
View from the Tiberias chapel. I don't know why we don't have more sacrament meeting rooms w/ glass backsets like the Jerusalem Center and Tiberias have... except the view from my home ward would be a street w/ cars driving past... I'm still down.
Janer and I at the Church in Nain that commemorates Christ healing the son of the widow of Nain.
Brad and I chilling on the beach and contemplating the good things in life - women.
Banias waterfall: Michael, Kyle, Ian, me
Ceaserea Philipi - a pebble vs the bedrock or Peter vs Christ. This was one of my favorite places of the entire trip so far. It is in the mountains and it has a ton of history. Plus it is the site of one of my favorite scriptural events.
My sweet new camera takes pics that capture only specific hues while leaving the rest black and white.
Jews at the Western Wall
