My parents are on the plane at this very minute on their way here to pick me up! I can't believe this semester is over, but I'll talk more about that in another post.<br /><br />A couple weeks ago we had a fun field trip to the Dead Sea. We started the day out in Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were found scattered throughout 11 caves. Then we went to Madaba- one of Herod's many fortresses built on a high hill. We stopped at Ein Gedi next, a place much like where Lehi would have lived. Kaitlin and I found a beautiful little place next to the stream and we just chatted- I am so lucky that I was able to come here with my best friend- I love her to death!<br /><br />I was so excited to go to the dead sea but a little skeptical that we would actually float. How could that possible even work? The Dead Sea has about 30% salinity- whereas oceans are about 3%. We went to a changing room and then walked a ways out to the Sea- the water line has receded a lot over the years so we had to walk a little while before we could actually see it. I couldn't believe when I looked out and saw everyone walking out into the water, falling backwards, and floating out. Sure enough, as I fell backwards into the water I floated with absolutely no effort. We had so much fun experiencing this crazy phenomenon and I can now check the Dead Sea off my list of one of the coolest things I have ever done.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Just me and the beautiful Kaitlin Marie O'Connor.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI96siOLx_AkQpVLtHX6bpDgoK5w_vvdo24AIXOvE08pH0JGsNsTssrb0JGwr8jaAeSTJVG5kn85FGLJuZZHj6ES6uroARP2P7Er0E_Yx3CGA6Foh3JKMWFZteQQ0StROn9p5zWWJxqyX2/s1600/IMG_7744.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI96siOLx_AkQpVLtHX6bpDgoK5w_vvdo24AIXOvE08pH0JGsNsTssrb0JGwr8jaAeSTJVG5kn85FGLJuZZHj6ES6uroARP2P7Er0E_Yx3CGA6Foh3JKMWFZteQQ0StROn9p5zWWJxqyX2/s320/IMG_7744.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597369497320846690" border="0" /></a>I'm going to miss sweet Sabrina- purple team!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6XNKYe2nzF1kcPn5EvZ2DlmOqXd3lTt0khYPnVSBys31DP9sRG8yzR4ThyWlOXzPovJpvHpCIyY-v80XPIT1hI4lfLXNmAnczemBUhoflM36PvbBcZusHZJfXMoFUf6-c47Rd5r0aQqE/s1600/IMG_7748.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6XNKYe2nzF1kcPn5EvZ2DlmOqXd3lTt0khYPnVSBys31DP9sRG8yzR4ThyWlOXzPovJpvHpCIyY-v80XPIT1hI4lfLXNmAnczemBUhoflM36PvbBcZusHZJfXMoFUf6-c47Rd5r0aQqE/s320/IMG_7748.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597369490310065250" border="0" /></a>Israel has become my home!

Elder Holland came to Israel to dedicate a building in Tel Aviv and he stayed at the center! We were able to hear from him on Saturday night and it was one of the most incredible talks I have ever heard. He spoke so powerfully and with so much passion, it was inspiring. He talked to us about remembering the experiences we had hear and reminded us how fortunate we are to be here. Then we were able to shake his hands. As I shook his hand and said thank you he grabbed my arm and said "Thank you honey, I love you." Cool! The next day we all crowded around him at dinner and had "casual" conversations as he told us about his family, the Jerusalem Center, and gave us some advice. Later when I saw him in the cafeteria getting food, we were able to make the connection that I am a Bassett and he remembered my parents saying that he "Practically raised the Bassett's"- which was so fun for me. I am so amazed at the schedule that the general authorities have and how they are still able to speak with the spirit and make it through each day. I am so grateful for their dedication to the church and to the Lord. I feel so blessed to have heard from and spent time with a special witness of Christ this weekend. Everyone at the center was giddy with excitement to see and hear from him. It was a great way to wrap up the perfect semester!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13147753573388057627noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310107138395961570.post-35517397829521630492011-04-17T14:30:00.000-07:002011-04-17T14:49:30.743-07:00Stephy BunnyI have so much to catch up on in Jerusalem, but there are some things that are just more important than that. MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!! <a href="http://sgauger.blogspot.com/">Stephanie Marie Gauger</a> has been my best friend since we were 2. I literally cannot remember a time when we have not been friends. As everyone knows, I have a horrible memory so it's always her who I turn to when I want to reminisce about the good ol days. But one of my fondest memories is if we got in a fight we would block the front door so the other person couldn't leave the house. We spent all of our time together (we lived down the street from each other) and she knew me better than any other person. I moved to Arizona when I was 15, but that didn't stop us from lots of visits and whenever we were able to get together things went back to the way they always were.<br />I came home today from a great day in the city and had an email from Steph telling me she was engaged. I was down in the lobby around about 20 other people checking email and I literally screamed and yelled MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!!! I sat there in silence for a couple minutes and then ran up to the computer lab to tell Kaitlin. As I was telling her I literally started bawling! There were a lot of people in the room, so I was slightly embarrassed but as people asked about her and I read her proposal story and looked at the pictures, I couldn't help but be so incredibly happy. Steph and I have been through so much together. I have seen her become the beautiful woman she is today. Her testimony, confidence, courage, love for life, friendliness, beauty, and talent with kids is something that I have never seen in any other person before. I am a constant stalker of her blog, I love staying up to date with her life and pretending like it hasn't been 5 years since I lived near her for more than a month. I love her so much. Austin Hodnett is one lucky guy. Congratulations Steph and Austin! I can't wait to come home and help with wedding plans. I am so unbelievable happy for you. I LOVE YOU!!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Picture taken a phone from our Spanish 3 class we took together- great memories.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RtqKm5w2MOSljvTEaWBtO-zo-jF8Ne5jetoMNBakDkXX3EkOlUjsw3lzXSy3JpDJVIqdpw73t61NcxzPoTnyq2HZ7c16dLure1TwhMh80ApDiw-85IDKPlo-ugzN3GVmSaQIFZEUExob/s1600/n825903479_1247047_6375.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RtqKm5w2MOSljvTEaWBtO-zo-jF8Ne5jetoMNBakDkXX3EkOlUjsw3lzXSy3JpDJVIqdpw73t61NcxzPoTnyq2HZ7c16dLure1TwhMh80ApDiw-85IDKPlo-ugzN3GVmSaQIFZEUExob/s320/n825903479_1247047_6375.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596668658610615810" border="0" /></a>Taylor did a little photo shoot for us out in the front of the church when we were waiting for our parents to get done with endless meetings.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ9Ir2uNLNLu-uQEXmQMcaXz02anGtWXWxJAmOs2SnXFltLpid6yI2opvnZRkgEZ7wWrAJEfhzx-otKMMxoGEEsmZ2OvkzVULelBj8A5cd2rXUDGDYTVLLRMNc5xyz9OFl3hyphenhyphenCyq3c8Hiv/s1600/n825903479_1396848_5560.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ9Ir2uNLNLu-uQEXmQMcaXz02anGtWXWxJAmOs2SnXFltLpid6yI2opvnZRkgEZ7wWrAJEfhzx-otKMMxoGEEsmZ2OvkzVULelBj8A5cd2rXUDGDYTVLLRMNc5xyz9OFl3hyphenhyphenCyq3c8Hiv/s320/n825903479_1396848_5560.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596668656770173378" border="0" /></a>Cultural Celebration!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnPjVOMjA_zxsAZIpsKnaazGjoqKfwhcM3fQ3FZNXz0XZzEqvOswu3MI_0YR3QTAWZct4s3yoRGVjAj1iquDdCaLzexPj9FCwNGZgKWLKjTq58vX2gJ-RIZ0klahWrJRkho4q_AcN8rRx/s1600/n825903479_1247032_4106.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnPjVOMjA_zxsAZIpsKnaazGjoqKfwhcM3fQ3FZNXz0XZzEqvOswu3MI_0YR3QTAWZct4s3yoRGVjAj1iquDdCaLzexPj9FCwNGZgKWLKjTq58vX2gJ-RIZ0klahWrJRkho4q_AcN8rRx/s320/n825903479_1247032_4106.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596668652880230098" border="0" /></a>I think Ruth took this on a trip I took to California after not seeing my best friend for months!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfbi0-_18vtPjLyPXIpA-K57M1EnuPA4nS0poyPlxIy5-j2GYp_CrzmKgY3e6-lvlOxeKC3DFhE-Kb1C7EN8yrtT-u2N23AzgBwqcf_7KFeZMUD9MFHCWJvXfYRFKi7NHLO_e_V6032Cd/s1600/n825903479_1275404_7006.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfbi0-_18vtPjLyPXIpA-K57M1EnuPA4nS0poyPlxIy5-j2GYp_CrzmKgY3e6-lvlOxeKC3DFhE-Kb1C7EN8yrtT-u2N23AzgBwqcf_7KFeZMUD9MFHCWJvXfYRFKi7NHLO_e_V6032Cd/s320/n825903479_1275404_7006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596668650047751858" border="0" /></a>Another trip I took to California- on the left- Sam is another one of my best friends from growing up who is getting married in June- love her so much!

I wish I could say I ran in the marathon but I'm pretty proud of my 10k. This is definitely the land of hills and valleys. Kaitlin and I made the most of the hills by running down airplane style with our arms stretched out singing "I Believe I Can Fly". It was so surreal to run through the Old City and see the different parts of Jerusalem as we ran. I can't believe this has been my home for the past 3 months. 10,000 people came together to run in this race for cancer and we met people from all over the world. Not only was the race a great experience but we got a sweet neon green shirt, backpack, medal, and lots of free food.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_H462qd599x8w5YTy2cw_KpKBmiSQPQrwkl9NR_cOUyp0hTRD2owXnPZ7aWfMl8O_gKcV4ISKWl4kRyTcYv4rURnznB0kYDmx_9b0CA0lBhfXURezuSAGAjNdNr4iby_N75Zxk7zbONgg/s1600/IMG_8049.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_H462qd599x8w5YTy2cw_KpKBmiSQPQrwkl9NR_cOUyp0hTRD2owXnPZ7aWfMl8O_gKcV4ISKWl4kRyTcYv4rURnznB0kYDmx_9b0CA0lBhfXURezuSAGAjNdNr4iby_N75Zxk7zbONgg/s320/IMG_8049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590325953022536418" border="0" /></a>For our free day on Sunday the whole center went to Eilat to go snorkeling in the Red Sea. Being in the water was so relaxing and we soaked up the sun on the beach for as long as we could.<br />Here are all our wonderful boys here at the Jerusalem Center.

I was the first girl to be given the honor of wearing the JC shirt for the day.

Hezekiah's tunnel is a manmade tunnel that was used to bring water from the Gihon spring to the Pool of Siloam (where Jesus healed the blind man!) It was used to give water supply to the city of Jerusalem when they were attached by Sennacharib. We walked through this tunnel- which has water up to about your mid calf. We sang the whole way and turned our flashlights off a couple of times to make our way through the narrow tunnel. Note the wonderful outfits- shorts are not allowed in the city so we wore skirts/dresses over them until we could lift them up in the tunnel. Classic.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9A-uhBXGOgEm5q_idiBayU6i4NUTvSPAMSBDnp30yC8goGN8Kxwp-LelwA8bcSd229FAA_OlSsk02cYWRhN_12b88iD1qWQqry-PBtYGC1KVmjt0zQtG9iDWn3k9ghYuprmpvyVkqR3yb/s1600/P1010368.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9A-uhBXGOgEm5q_idiBayU6i4NUTvSPAMSBDnp30yC8goGN8Kxwp-LelwA8bcSd229FAA_OlSsk02cYWRhN_12b88iD1qWQqry-PBtYGC1KVmjt0zQtG9iDWn3k9ghYuprmpvyVkqR3yb/s320/P1010368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582897502852081378" border="0" /></a>6) Giving Blood<br />My first time giving blood! I was so so nervous- ever since watching birthing videos my freshman year of college in my human development I have a weak stomach. Everyone said the finger prick is the worst part so when that happened and it didn't hurt me at all I felt just fine. Then someone fainted and I started to get nervous again. It wasn't too bad, just a little uncomfortable and she moved the needle around for a little bit trying to find the vein (ouch!). But I was so happy to do such a small thing to help someone else.

I have to admit I was not looking forward to a field trip after such a long day but it turned out to be fun, even though I was groggy the whole way. The best part was being at the Western Wall at night and seeing so many people worship. I love this land.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8pZftP6Nx079M4FwxXwyQKG9v5lgErIJV3u_Dmjs9-neZVakJCbhFTq1jyLd-U5zkPDZ0TSTbfYdpE1dIwS1HssKp9NLP-jjzNShi7QiH4oi_042u_7yqsFdK148JpGuSSRIjurI2gNE/s1600/IMG_8230.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8pZftP6Nx079M4FwxXwyQKG9v5lgErIJV3u_Dmjs9-neZVakJCbhFTq1jyLd-U5zkPDZ0TSTbfYdpE1dIwS1HssKp9NLP-jjzNShi7QiH4oi_042u_7yqsFdK148JpGuSSRIjurI2gNE/s320/IMG_8230.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582897206569038274" border="0" /></a>4) Neot Kedomin<br />This was a part of our Valentine's Day field trip that I absolutely loved.

Our first stop was at the Herodion- a massive palace that King Herod used for the summers. We wandered around the ancient ruins, looked at Herod's tomb, and walked through pleasure pool- a huge pool at the bottom with a small island in the middle of it. Then we went to Bethlehem University where we had the chance to meet college aged students and ask them questions about what it is like to live here with all the conflict. I was amazed at how much they sacrifice to gain an education. I have so much respect for the people who live here. Then we headed to the Church of the Nativity where the Savior was born. The neatest part of the experience was sitting in the adjacent church singing Christmas hymns. Grown men and women stopped and cried as they listened to us sing, some joining in, others taking videos. We all had a common love for Jesus Christ that brought a sweet spirit. We shopped for a little while and then went to Shepherds field and had a testimony meeting. We heard some musical numbers and shared our testimony's with each other. I am so grateful for the love that I feel here. My capacity to love has grown so much in the past two months and I am so grateful to the Savior for allowing that to happen. It was an unforgettable night as we sat under the stars in Shepherds Field and looked back the little town of Bethlehem.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDd82SAIjtReOlfOViz9hxFWk4uwq2w1dOtuEIo7GedWf9NzfPxDA0rQ7qBIFrizeonEHJgyX4mke5RYnfzLhQ2eSA1e_Q4a_UezOG_FncBCGrUTZ1_MwSM8xU_TR9MLhsMVyjy4ykZ5d/s1600/IMG_1054.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDd82SAIjtReOlfOViz9hxFWk4uwq2w1dOtuEIo7GedWf9NzfPxDA0rQ7qBIFrizeonEHJgyX4mke5RYnfzLhQ2eSA1e_Q4a_UezOG_FncBCGrUTZ1_MwSM8xU_TR9MLhsMVyjy4ykZ5d/s320/IMG_1054.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582896201077615842" border="0" /></a>2) Dome of the Rock<br />Finally! I don't know why it took so long for me to get to the Dome of the Rock- but it was well worth the wait. The mosaic decoration and gold top is absolutely beautiful. As I have said so many times, I love seeing the different ways people worship- at the Western Wall, synagogue, and outside the Dome of the Rock. There is so much history on the Temple Mount where this Dome is located. It is the same location as Solomon's Temple and Herod's Temple where Christ visited.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJRtEo0tSdI2Lf90u7Q-q-bp12lkHhkboLDEruBEWrqaY49DySUN7UC66SrsS4Q7RQj4u5Xu26P6XfBGakIJ1SojuccM4omxSijdP02SFKhzV9pIP__qXvm5C4cZlkc42256ofOQMYG3n/s1600/DSCF1402.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJRtEo0tSdI2Lf90u7Q-q-bp12lkHhkboLDEruBEWrqaY49DySUN7UC66SrsS4Q7RQj4u5Xu26P6XfBGakIJ1SojuccM4omxSijdP02SFKhzV9pIP__qXvm5C4cZlkc42256ofOQMYG3n/s320/DSCF1402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582894107768650978" border="0" /></a>1) Service<br />One of the things I have grown to love the most is the opportunity to serve. We have a great humanitarian couple here give us the opportunity to serve as often as they can. Chelsea is in charge of the committee and works so hard so we all have the chance to serve. One Sabbath we went to the Christian quarter of the Old City and visited with some of the elderly people in their homes. This sweet woman has the only piano in the Old City and loves for people to come and play it at her house. We have yet to go back and visit her but I am looking forward to going back. Yesterday we went to an elementary school- I was in heaven. I'll upload those pictures when I get them. Kerry, Donovan and I were in a kindergarten class with about 20 kids. We taught them songs- Ring around the Rosie, Popcorn Popping, Hokey Pokey (their favorite), itsy bitsy spider, Once there was a snowman, and Do as I'm doing. I wish I could have captured the looks on their faces when we were there- they were so genuinely happy. They love to give high fives and<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5-D98WJY_eTuk6sTpZZic_G2jE76Ww1LvScoW0N0fqJQcvGHWlWnZ6tssq8QIw-2uPKjDXhgT0MBHgt557Uu0ghlmOUinHokYKQZV1aNt9_jcEudEVHKlBAQFzRzPN3MyLy8ZqhjgBw27/s1600/DSCN4924.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5-D98WJY_eTuk6sTpZZic_G2jE76Ww1LvScoW0N0fqJQcvGHWlWnZ6tssq8QIw-2uPKjDXhgT0MBHgt557Uu0ghlmOUinHokYKQZV1aNt9_jcEudEVHKlBAQFzRzPN3MyLy8ZqhjgBw27/s320/DSCN4924.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582893286894599330" border="0" /></a>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13147753573388057627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310107138395961570.post-63354888746149036492011-02-27T10:22:00.001-08:002011-02-27T11:18:46.645-08:00Eternal Perspective<div style="text-align: center;">I remember thinking in the first weeks of being in Jerusalem how perfect this place is. I told myself nothing could go wrong here and every day would be pure bliss. I absolutely love it here. I love everything about the rush that comes from wandering through the Old City. I love greeting locals as they come to the Jerusalem Center for concerts. I love living, studying, eating, and sleeping with people who have become some of my closest friends. I love learning about the people here. I love studying the life of the Savior in the places He walked and taught. I love playing with children as they run through the streets. I love being in primary and learning from the children there. I love learning about the history of the Holy Land. I love going on field trips and experiencing life in a new and exciting way. I love my life.<br />Naturally there are those days that just seem a little off. I have grown to love those quiet moments by myself when I can sit and ponder about the love my Father in Heaven and Savior have for me. I know that they love me. I know that they understand the thoughts and intentions of my heart better than anyone else. I know that they are waiting to guide me through this earthly existence so I can return to live with them.<br />Tonight was one of those nights when everything seemed a little bit off. I stood in a crowded room surrounded by people that I love and felt somewhat out of place at that moment. I was reminded of the experience I had at the Sand Dunes when I realized the importance of taking time to myself to talk with my Heavenly Father. I thought about the inspiration I felt there- just as Heavenly Father led Lehi and his family through the wilderness and guided them to the promised land- He will lead me through the confusions and trials in my life. I realized once again how important it is that I take time to myself in order to be reminded and comforted.<br />The little things in life don't matter. The only thing that matters is the gospel; and even more than that the relationship I have with my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. If I put them first in my life everything else falls into place. I know that I am a happier person when I strive to be more Christlike.<br /></div> I love the experience I am having in Jerusalem because it is teaching me how to be a happier person. I am learning what happiness comes from. I am learning how vital the gospel is in my life. I am learning how important my family is to me. I am learning that I need to live my life in a way that sets an example for others. I am so far from perfect- but the amazing message of this gospel teaches me that is okay. The power of the Atonement can heal me and shape me into the person my Heavenly Father knows I can be. I know that He sees divine potential in all of His children. I know He loves each person with an infinite amount of love.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Sometimes I just need to be reminded to have an eternal perspective.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">*I have grown to love reading conference talks and a few days ago I downloaded one to read later. Right after finishing this blog post I pulled it up to read the talk and was touched at how much President Uchtodrf's message applied to the way I am feeling right now. I had no idea why I pulled this talk up a few days ago- but the message is perfect and poignant for me right now. Just another testimony to me that my Heavenly Father loves me and is watching out for me, even when I don't realize it.<br /><br />Click <a href="http://lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/of-things-that-matter-most?lang=eng&query=jesus+christ">here</a> for the talk. </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13147753573388057627noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310107138395961570.post-72986828668977902832011-02-24T00:05:00.000-08:002011-02-24T04:15:24.222-08:00Proud Big SisterDo you remember the tedious process of college applications?

I thought I was anxious when I was waiting to find out about my acceptance to BYU 2 years ago. But waiting to hear about Taylor was even worse. Every day in between breakfast and Old Testament I would run to check my email to see if he had found out. I wondered every morning if today would be the day.<br />Yesterday I woke up and told Kaitlin that I thought today was the day- but I went to check my email and didn't find anything. I was starting to get annoyed with BYU for making me...I mean Taylor... wait for so long to find out. Then this morning (which is yesterday night for my family) I got the email from Taylor. My little brother was accepted to BYU! I feel like such a proud big sister. Taylor came to Utah to visit me for a weekend in my freshman year and we had so much fun. He was thoroughly convinced that BYU is the school for him when he saw the endless amounts of food at the Cannon Center.<br /><br />I am so excited to have Taylor at BYU with me next year. He knows how to push my buttons better than anyone else. We argue like any brother and sister would. But he is also one of my closest friends. I feel so lucky to have a brother like Taylor. I remember getting so frustrated when he would take the math class I had struggled with two years earlier and say it was "too easy". He excels in school with ease. He is so dedicated to being healthy and staying in shape. He has such a great sense of humor. He loves the gospel and has been an example to me countless times. He'll stay up late talking to me when I come home from school. He lets me drive his truck every once in a while. He goes with me to the grocery store so I don't have to go alone. He notices when I try to take the change out of his truck. He tells me what kind of guy to date. He constantly asks why I'm not married yet so I can have kids before he leaves on his mission (not going to happen). He wants me to get to know his friends and hang out with them when they come over.<br />One of my fondest memories of Taylor is after I had just gone through a difficult break up. He just sat with me in my room while I cried. I was up for a lot of the night and he didn't leave until I was almost asleep. He just sat there and tried to cheer me up, tried to find something to say. That experience showed me that my little brother loves me and cares about me and what a compassionate person he is. I could see that he hated seeing me upset and wanted to help me feel better. I love my not so little brother.<br />Congratulations Taylor! I'm proud of you and so excited to have you with me at school next year before your mission- but mostly I'm just excited for free meals at the Cannon Center...Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13147753573388057627noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310107138395961570.post-36126470497790873152011-02-20T00:14:00.000-08:002011-02-20T08:46:59.027-08:00A lot of the reason I love it here....<div style="text-align: center;">My mom is always asking about my friends here because I talk about how much I love everyone here so much- so this is for you mom! Every once in a while I'll introduce you to some of my friends at the Jerusalem Center.<br /><br />Sitting across from me is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Danielle Whitehead</span>- she goes to BYU-I. She is a beautiful girl and always pleasantly surprises us. We became close with her when she was Rachel's roommate in Egypt. She is lots of fun and always makes us laugh.<br />Sitting next to Danielle is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chelsea Jackson</span>. I adore Chelsea- she lives right next door to us so we get to have her over a lot. She always looks for the best in people and loves to make people happy. She is one of the happiest people I have ever met. I try to surround myself with people that make me want to be a better person and Chelsea definitely fits that role. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMquK7StJI5uDryCAna8k15bcmVNR8oOgNaaDRR_DhbxaTF47Frk-FHc9AdQrl2bEQ3i4bBD3BTGnbNWLzhmu3U6TMlxxaIdR07Q7HZKk4g7VZntUfc1hyphenhyphen5W1LW3yL9_O0cz8VR3khDtnB/s1600/DSC00602.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMquK7StJI5uDryCAna8k15bcmVNR8oOgNaaDRR_DhbxaTF47Frk-FHc9AdQrl2bEQ3i4bBD3BTGnbNWLzhmu3U6TMlxxaIdR07Q7HZKk4g7VZntUfc1hyphenhyphen5W1LW3yL9_O0cz8VR3khDtnB/s320/DSC00602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575684365567684066" border="0" /></a>Meet <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joshua Benson Steele </span>from Preston, Idaho.

We started the day off with a great field trip. We had the chance to herd some sheep and talked about the significance of ensuring that we had all the sheep with us, just as Jesus Christ will never leave one of his sheep behind.

We each had the chance to run on the water wheel- Kaitlin, Rachel, and I struggled a little but it was a lot of fun.

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The night ended with an awesome Valentines Day dance in the gym and making Valentines for each other. I got some of the sweetest/funniest Valentines ever. We had a wonderful Valentines day! I also got a letter in the mail from my best friend, Tyson and a wedding announcement from one of my closest friends, Shelby! I'm so excited for her to get married in just a few days now. Congratulations Shelby and Jake! I wish I could be there but I'm excited to see you guys in just a few months. Love you Shelb!

TenI can hardly believe that I have lived in Jerusalem for a month. In some ways it feels as if I have lived here my whole life, yet on the other hand everything has gone by so fast. I have had so many incredible experiences- it's a good thing I have a journal to keep track of all the adventures there have been. I thought I would recap my top 10 favorite things about the month of January in Jerusalem.<br /><br />10)Soccer<br /> Anyone that knows me is aware that I lack somewhat in the athletic arena. Although I love sports, I have never excelled in anything- which is hard for someone as competitive as I am. However, I do love to play around and have fun. One of the amazing committees at the Jerusalem Center planned a fun excursion to a park near the Center to play soccer on one of our free days. My roommates and I were not planning on going, but we ended up getting roped into it at the last minute. I was embarrassed to prove to everyone how sad my soccer skills are, but it actually turned out to be fun. The best part about the day was how kind everyone was to me- "Good job Jessica!" "Wow, that was great!" (when I touched the ball, even if it didn't really go anywhere). I was amazed at the end of the day at the caliber of people I am surrounded by here. I absolutely love everyone and I feel so much love from them every day. I am so glad I went to play soccer, even though it was out of my comfort zone, just so I could recognize how great the people at the Jerusalem Center are. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlojU42_PCIxNqlKhOi6Iql2f_dXtywEo4PtIREjXJ5vdD8mRkIh12VdfHreC2sc-Zvvs90mRFkZRHGb4G7roJldWpVRIhfXmfxswTgzNbFZODinNTfBMoEUSaK37LZvmA9Q8PL9oMn_pp/s1600/P1160075.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlojU42_PCIxNqlKhOi6Iql2f_dXtywEo4PtIREjXJ5vdD8mRkIh12VdfHreC2sc-Zvvs90mRFkZRHGb4G7roJldWpVRIhfXmfxswTgzNbFZODinNTfBMoEUSaK37LZvmA9Q8PL9oMn_pp/s320/P1160075.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572022924731287410" border="0" /></a>9) Shwarma<br />My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Just look at the size of those things! Schwarma is a delicacy here- the most delectable turkey you've ever had rolled up in a pita or lafa with hummus, vegetables, and french fries. This is my new favorite food and I'm already dreading leaving it behind when I go home.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5h9pqoT-rQ3BIMwEjYh-vBwvhbqSaxNuGysEAqGOrM7fbpWCp7YprMZ8vDcFRvyg0FpAdrpIDW5ycnVwR0wVCuAhffDfYTZeHVyHb3BlEsy1xVt78Fqc8_SI86dW72PTz87REpBig-Cw5/s1600/IMG_3137.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5h9pqoT-rQ3BIMwEjYh-vBwvhbqSaxNuGysEAqGOrM7fbpWCp7YprMZ8vDcFRvyg0FpAdrpIDW5ycnVwR0wVCuAhffDfYTZeHVyHb3BlEsy1xVt78Fqc8_SI86dW72PTz87REpBig-Cw5/s320/IMG_3137.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572021339840807442" border="0" /></a>8) Wadi Kelt<br />One of our field trips was spent in Jericho visiting Biblical sites. At the end of the trip we stopped at the Wadi Kelt and took a short hike up to the top and looked to our left at Jericho and in the distance at Jerusalem. Then we looked down and saw the road that the Savior would have walked when he made that journey. This was one of those moments for me when everything became so real and I realized that I am in the place that the Savior lived. On top of that, I love looking around at those rolling hills and seeing the beauty of the earth. And take a look at that fanny pack- never did I think I would wear one of those but they are actually quite handy- you should try it sometime.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgnix8nh0yMAf2-WaRidwlK7RmFktnCFBqz7iKgLIy1AnDOOC4u7lUuILH1bCymqWz4LeeO_r9EyUIxeDL8BhvvYaVkcu6dlxO1yjbthmupb_FJov_jwQt8JcL8TGRjzdKQrJeT5_iaJ_/s1600/IMG_3679.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgnix8nh0yMAf2-WaRidwlK7RmFktnCFBqz7iKgLIy1AnDOOC4u7lUuILH1bCymqWz4LeeO_r9EyUIxeDL8BhvvYaVkcu6dlxO1yjbthmupb_FJov_jwQt8JcL8TGRjzdKQrJeT5_iaJ_/s320/IMG_3679.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572021338190138626" border="0" /></a>7) Arab Night<br />Just a week ago we had a night to learn about the Arab culture. Two men came and demonstrated the Call to Prayer for us- this prayer happens 5 times throughout the day and reminds the Muslims that they need to pray sometime before the next call. Then we had an authentic Arab dinner and learned an Arab dance from some locals! We also got to dress up- as you can see- which is always a blast. We had a great night and it was so much fun to learn more about the culture and the people who live here.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVpm-E4jdIofOm1vFtlPy8mE__lTAIntaurkzvpzRNBxf7BMfH6sPecIg3T5xDlADYWW3_q0Jg-0bqJ5NsUlHcosjPKYYVI9CChS9WaSnIPd52XlTA2HXKebL-qpKD5n4uWOaIhbNpqe57/s1600/IMG_8151.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVpm-E4jdIofOm1vFtlPy8mE__lTAIntaurkzvpzRNBxf7BMfH6sPecIg3T5xDlADYWW3_q0Jg-0bqJ5NsUlHcosjPKYYVI9CChS9WaSnIPd52XlTA2HXKebL-qpKD5n4uWOaIhbNpqe57/s320/IMG_8151.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572021334763609714" border="0" /></a>6) Camel Ride<br />Our camel ride in Luxor was incredible- I loved every minute of it. The trail we were on brought us through the heart of the city and we had the chance to see the people and watch their excitement as the Americans went by their homes. I learned to love the people in Egypt- especially the beautiful children who just melted my heart. I've always wanted to ride a camel- check. But seeing the land and the people was even more exciting to me.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiulJeD0bD_2taHOkbsV9JQ_a34ej6lfjW3KI7IIzSSX0v9n9F6VXjsZ0Hf24reVv7lhG2uu7OL9dvzSWXE3g3EIBJzNcpr7V9-2TUwE8uDiqVprG6lmK8an_kJkEFpIcJ6k6leYDyltI0d/s1600/IMG_7429.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiulJeD0bD_2taHOkbsV9JQ_a34ej6lfjW3KI7IIzSSX0v9n9F6VXjsZ0Hf24reVv7lhG2uu7OL9dvzSWXE3g3EIBJzNcpr7V9-2TUwE8uDiqVprG6lmK8an_kJkEFpIcJ6k6leYDyltI0d/s320/IMG_7429.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572021328315406578" border="0" /></a>5)Roommates<br />The pictures got a little bit out of order- so these lovely ladies should be down towards the bottom- oh well. I lucked out big time with roommates- and I am reminded of that every day. They just make me so happy to be around. We are all so different but we get along so well and i learn so much from them. People joke that we are attached at the hip and I wouldn't have it any other way- I am so blessed to live with these girls and to learn from them. Jess is always surprising us with the funny comments she makes and her cute facial expressions. Kaitlin always entertains us with showtunes; her love for life and creativity inspire me to try and be better. Rachel is so genuine and sweet to everyone she meets- I have never heard her say something bad about anyone and she has the most contagious laugh that usually puts us all into uncontrollable fits of laughter. I love these girls!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIwGA3UWDtRNtkjUHTOQugAcZj3lQjHTT3cvmzYq9REoqU1HuptgNEP_Ynh3kUBXQkP_bucQZx4j6rmmWqWjtK2AAuo7Bd4W9g-dkxxQ-IxwGaGyeRanASP-6WtT_aswPAwxzsPw62_qO/s1600/DSC00359.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIwGA3UWDtRNtkjUHTOQugAcZj3lQjHTT3cvmzYq9REoqU1HuptgNEP_Ynh3kUBXQkP_bucQZx4j6rmmWqWjtK2AAuo7Bd4W9g-dkxxQ-IxwGaGyeRanASP-6WtT_aswPAwxzsPw62_qO/s320/DSC00359.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572021320123083730" border="0" /></a>4) Pyramids<br />I still get excited when I think about the fact that I saw the pyramids in real life. Not only that but I touched them and actually went inside a couple. I understand why the Great Pyramid is one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The creativity and work that went into making these boggles my mind. This was definitely a highlight of the month.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQeEZXQJoPx2VQhwGo3WeP6IYOFz3CuUId0qMcbdtwGZaYL4DbTD-lIt7ECNJM9ToF78l5V67xjMhYgli-NO3JO805RRbeixj-AwhIXoIxfmOvxAUiXZnjCHaBTRC5tuJYnO3q5GGcJy3N/s1600/IMG_6858.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQeEZXQJoPx2VQhwGo3WeP6IYOFz3CuUId0qMcbdtwGZaYL4DbTD-lIt7ECNJM9ToF78l5V67xjMhYgli-NO3JO805RRbeixj-AwhIXoIxfmOvxAUiXZnjCHaBTRC5tuJYnO3q5GGcJy3N/s320/IMG_6858.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572020613866736450" border="0" /></a>3) Garden Tomb and Gethsemane<br />I can't decide which one of these places I love more. There is nothing else quite like going to the Garden Tomb or Gethsemane after church. The spirit at these places is incredible. I love them both for different reasons. The Garden of Gethsemane is a wonderful place to sit quietly and ponder about the sacrifice that was made at a place closeby. The Garden Tomb is not so quiet- but I love singing hymns with my friends and sitting and watching/ listening to the tourists as they see the tomb and worship God. There are so many different ways that people worship and I love that we all have this common love for God and can learn so much from each other. This picture is in front of the Tomb that some believe Christ was buried in before He rose on the third day.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisRApBVnlIPha5OW0QHtuN_YE12JrbXepRJw_yJ8Uo_hoMw_x1YXRIHdEKGCduqd50Mt6x4hXIFX1qFjQPczDQVI6MCzgCRIVsjnlGIgKtkFpo50z7gyNkeWRScp_b737n0lMhGnP3jyq/s1600/IMG_3183.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisRApBVnlIPha5OW0QHtuN_YE12JrbXepRJw_yJ8Uo_hoMw_x1YXRIHdEKGCduqd50Mt6x4hXIFX1qFjQPczDQVI6MCzgCRIVsjnlGIgKtkFpo50z7gyNkeWRScp_b737n0lMhGnP3jyq/s320/IMG_3183.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572020604542537586" border="0" /></a>2) Teachers/ Families<br />I learn so much from the teachers here. They love what they teach so much and are so excited to see us learn. We have the best of the best at the Jerusalem Center. Brother Muhlestein is one of the sweetest people I have ever known- my roommates and I adore him- he has a way of teaching that touches me every time I hear him. Brother Chadwick gets so excited when he teaches about the history of this land and in turn gets me excited to learn. Our Arabic teacher is so entertaining and makes us laugh countless times. Our Israeli and Palestinian teachers may expect a lot of us, but I have so much respect for them and the time they take to share their beliefs with us. We also have the most incredible staff here- they all tried to know our names when we first got here and really have a genuine desire to get to know us and make sure we have an amazing experience.<br />The families of the staff here are also amazing. I love getting to know them. Sabrina has become one of my little buddies and calls me "her love" ( instead of friend). She is so easily won over and has the sweetest little heart. All of the kids here are adorable and show me what it means to be Christlike. I am so impressed with all eleven of them (from the Muhlestein and Judd families).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVunxsMpTGbgEY1EvZW0FKFkAezcuP0FytZR7Gmrau1PHTcFt8elPvAa5bcPFVUfxjfOBG28RlDUdFwodxiTfXOLOrQTFJRwC2pToQzfOpMUXefHuo4x4yo3zgm0ua1Ra_MHhNG92xQwYD/s1600/IMG_3168.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVunxsMpTGbgEY1EvZW0FKFkAezcuP0FytZR7Gmrau1PHTcFt8elPvAa5bcPFVUfxjfOBG28RlDUdFwodxiTfXOLOrQTFJRwC2pToQzfOpMUXefHuo4x4yo3zgm0ua1Ra_MHhNG92xQwYD/s320/IMG_3168.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572020599177753314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3Qo5Ecdd_D4CpTXJfJOgUx4GdufHwDmuxKC4vKVTXeyEsKQPe3DtdcyAzDOJJgmr87c328gcggT3LkL-dq156qibylVsgpd8q2YLPAM1mpxCxP4tQqzoPVBCZY53z9SYX_Fu3Es-cyFT/s1600/DSC00640.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3Qo5Ecdd_D4CpTXJfJOgUx4GdufHwDmuxKC4vKVTXeyEsKQPe3DtdcyAzDOJJgmr87c328gcggT3LkL-dq156qibylVsgpd8q2YLPAM1mpxCxP4tQqzoPVBCZY53z9SYX_Fu3Es-cyFT/s320/DSC00640.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572020600776503730" border="0" /></a>1)My testimony<br />I have learned so much here about the people and the culture but the best part has been the relationship I have developed with the Savior and Heavenly Father. I never knew I could have this kind of relationship with them. Some of my best moments have been spent in quiet reflection, studying the scriptures, and learning in my Old Testament class. I know that they have an infinite love for me and everyone else on this earth. I cannot fully understand this love but I have felt so much love since being here that I have a taste of it. I love that I am learning in the place where the Savior lived and taught. It has only been a month and I am so excited to continue to learn and grow- I have eternity for that to happen right?<br />Some of my other thoughts and things I have learned here are on my family blog: markandangie.blogspot.com<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeN3cxkMzD_TCY44pyK7ysyDipQhm0YQJRGjFKQNBe10m1WaQH4_ZOolUBRViqPvN_O0fiFOnUoJTPZflh2RWQ01b3ACNySark-K1NHIBtP2WjIM1ia2paCRuPFAjh_KIGoSeyOP0YmJ8B/s1600/IMG_3722.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeN3cxkMzD_TCY44pyK7ysyDipQhm0YQJRGjFKQNBe10m1WaQH4_ZOolUBRViqPvN_O0fiFOnUoJTPZflh2RWQ01b3ACNySark-K1NHIBtP2WjIM1ia2paCRuPFAjh_KIGoSeyOP0YmJ8B/s320/IMG_3722.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572020592906929522" border="0" /></a>I love Jerusalem so much!
