Wish You Were Here: August 2013

Wish You Were Here. Sunday, August 11, 2013. Last Week of Christ's Life, Day 2. Words cannot describe my love for this place and the feelings I had going through Christ's last week with all my Jerusalem classmates. First thing in the morning we walked through Orson Hyde Gardens, here is my bud Lisa Judd. She is one of the smartest little girl I've ever met! I think it's pretty neat Orson Hyde has a garden dedicated to him. The true church still has its' remains here in the Holy Land! Forget me not :).

Wish You Were Here. Sunday, March 31, 2013. He is not here, for He is Risen! Among the hundreds of Christian Pilgrims from around the world in celebration of Christ's triumphant entry. Shakas! Passing through Lion's Gate! We partied with other pilgrims on the other side at the Pools of Bethesda. I loved seeing so many different people coming together to celebrate Jesus Christ, our true king. Syriac Orthodox Church of St. Mark. In the Armenian Quarter of the Old City). Where we learn about the Sacrament.

Wish You Were Here: The Dead Sea
http://wawntawnabroad.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-dead-sea.html
Wish You Were Here. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found! Located below the cliffs of the Judean wilderness near the Dead Sea. The Essenes were a faction of Judaism who practiced monasticism here, and produced the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some of my favorites :). Who knew a desert could be so beautiful? Seeing the vast amazing desert made me realize that beauty really does come in all sorts of packages. Now the Dead Sea. The salinity of the Dead Sea is 33%. Random, but too good). The D...

Wish You Were Here: February 2013
http://wawntawnabroad.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wish You Were Here. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Anne, Taylor and I, loving life. Reminded me a bit of the Old City in Jerusalem, but parts of it felt like an antique garage sale. We could have spent a long time shopping around there. but the beach was calling. Indiana Jones shops like this were all along the street. I love these cute juice shops. Now here is the real shop. the surf shop. The water felt so serene, I was literally as happy as a kid in a candy store. Motivational graffiti, the best kind.

Wish You Were Here: April 2013
http://wawntawnabroad.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wish You Were Here. Saturday, April 13, 2013. Galilee, Sweet Galilee. Church of Nazareth/Basilica of the Annunciation. This church commemorates and is believed to be the location where the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, telling her she would become the mother of the Son of God (Luke 1:26-38). Around the entire church and top floor were incredible mosaics from countries around the world, all about the birth of our Savior. This church is also the largest Catholic church building in all the Middle East.

Wish You Were Here. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Last Week of Christ's Life" Field Trip Day 1. I had THE BEST time I've ever had here in Jerusalem this week, I didn't want it to end! What a bitter-sweet week knowing we had to leave soon. but it was so special visiting the sacred sites that made such an impression for our life today. For our last field trip we went through the sites Christ did during His last week in Jerusalem before He was crucified. Where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Later it became ...

Wish You Were Here. Thursday, January 24, 2013. Side Note. Bits of Jerusalem I Love. Check out this view! The valley below the Old city is the Kidron Valley; it must have been nice that the Old City of Jerusalem had a pretty natural defense system because of the surrounding valleys- their only vulnerable side was then north (Just in case you wanted to know). Just looking at the city you can see where momentous event occurred. There is so much history here! Plus, look how colorful it is. That boot my frie...
