Latest Adventures

Wow! The past two weeks have be crazy and amazing. I love this place and I think that it will always have a special place in my heart even though I have only been here for such a short time, I feel like I have been here for so long! So one Sunday our free day (I think by the time I get used to the Sabbath being on Saturday, I will be back in the states) Also Random, but with the Jerusalem Center, the church started to allow other cultures to hold the Sabbath on other days. I guess when David O' McKay was the prophet the President of the Center asked if they could have the Sabbath on Saturday because of some problems that they have in the with culture (with stores and traveling etc.) He said no at first then he said yes after a letter was written to him listing all the reasons. That was the start of the change for a few places in the world.

 Anyways this past week, I got to go to the Temple Mount or the Dome of the Rock. It was pretty Beautiful place…

In front of the Dome of the Rock!

The Dome of the Rock is super amazing. I am not sure if I should take as a compliment, but one of the Guards asked if I was muslin and when we were in the shops on Sunday I also got asked if I was Belgian or from the middle east. Apparently I look like I could from everywhere! :D 

On the Roofs of the Jewish Quarter! Yes that black thing that looks like a belt is my fanny pack. I love looking like a tourist. 

More from the Temple Mount, the wall surrounding the Temple Mount is Beautiful.

Random: But I feel like everywhere in the Holy City, there are perfect places to take pictures, because everything is made of Limestone. I guess there is a law or mandate that states you have to have limestone covering all buildings, wish I think makes the city look put together.
