Israel - Day 1

Wow, guys! I'm here! I've been in the country for only 14 hours and I've already seen 15 different places! There's so much to do and see in Jerusalem. It has been fun walking the stone streets and alleys. It gives you an idea of what the town was like when Jesus was alive - how AMAZING!

As you read the blog, I hope you get inspired to pull out your Bible and study things you've never studied before - or maybe haven't studied in a long time. I'll give you today's highlights, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Today we walked on roof tops and had an amazing view of the Old City, we went to an 800 year old basilica (Catholic church,) Elvis shrine (I know, crazy!), a possible tomb for King Herod and his family, the Arab food market, seen the road where Jesus appeared to the men walking to Emmaus, the battlefield where Joshua got an extra 15 minutes of daylight, and the desert Ruth & Naomi journeyed through.

Here's a picture of me on top of a roof with Jerusalem in the background.

Check out these two pictures of the walls at Herod's tomb. One is in English, the other in Hebrew - how fun!

Especially for my Kidz City Kids:

I got your video questions from Miss Rebecca on Sunday, and I'll be replying with a video soon.

And! I read some of your cards today. You guys are great artists! I read a few cards with no names, and also a card from Yanexa and one from Alondra. I'm praying for your praye reuests, and I love you all so much!
