Jerusalem If I forget you!

After only being in this beautiful place for 4 days I know I will never forget it. I have so many stories and experiences to share but mostly I have pictures and so I decided that pictures are more fun anyways...

I'll tell stories later but for now here are some pictures from my first few days. Basically all of these pictures come from the Old city and our adventures just running around. We really haven't learned much about anything yet but we are just getting familiar with the city and our surroundings! I love it here!!!

Mason playing soccer with the cute Jeru children!

Lisa, Kristen, Mandi, Heather, Me and Jess outside of Demascas Gate

We stopped in West Jeru for ice cream and while sitting outside enjoying my treat a bird pooped on me...yeah it was nasty! Kristen had my phone and caught the exact moment!

In West Jeru outside of government offices. This is an old map in which they believed that Jerusalem was the center of the earth. The little green spot by my stomach is both North and South America. Apparently I come from a small place ;-)

A group of us surrouding the Virgin Mary's "eternal resting spot". It was in the bottom of her church and a little creepy down there and so we were all scared!

For my Daddy:
"My Daughter and my money go to BYU" It's what the sign says!

Mason and I hugging the bomb blower upper outside of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher

Matt, Me and Jess deep inside of Jerusalem at a citern! Right after this picture we all sang "The Spirit of God" ....way cool!

A bunch of us right after Mass Sunday Morning

Belly dancing outfits are everywhere....even on me. The shop keeper wanted to see what it looked like on. I kinda like it!

Jess wanted to join in on the fun! Check out the creepy shop keeper in the back! Gotta love it!
