Monday, July 30, 2012. Well, I have obviously been MIA for a while. I have been soaking in my last few weeks here. Only 9 more days. I'm obviously very sentimental lately.). In that time, we were in Galilee for 11 days. It was pure heaven. We saw some beautiful churches. Had Sacrament meeting in the church with the second best view (behind the JC of course). Saw another possible baptismal site. Found friends from home. At Mt Carmel of all places! Also found Joe Jr.'s twin at a waterfall. Laura and I felt...

Tuesday, May 29, 2012. I've been pretty cultured during the past week. We only ever hear it broadcast on the loudspeakers. They both had excellent voices. Also, they have the whole Qur'an memorized. which is quite impressive. After that, we had dinner in the "Arab" Oasis. This was delish! Finally, we went to the gym to learn some Arabic dancing from some local high schoolers. It was so fun! My table- Robin, Sean, David. Aladdin. I mean Nathan. Anna Marie is the best. Source of peace, Ruler of peace,.

Best Days: Birthday Week
http://rebekahmae.blogspot.com/2012/07/pre-jordan.html
Thursday, July 5, 2012. A couple highlights from my birthday week. Our FT that Monday was to Neot Kedumim, a "biblical landscape reserve" here in Jerusalem.

I preferred the goats; they were much easier to lead. Plus, the baby goats were adorable. My favorite baby goat. Robert likes to ride sheep. Rebekah at the well. Rachael and I crushin' our hys...
