Can I just tell you that I am so blessed to be in Jerusalem at this time. Wanna know why? I have the best teachers in the world. They are the top people in their fields of study and are just so enthusiastic about everything and every where we go. It's insane how much information they have in their minds!
The reason I bring this up is because today we had our first field trip today! We went to Saul's Palace, Nabi Samwill or Prophet Samuel, the Augusta Victoria Tower, and many look out places where we were able to see the City of Bethlehem, City of David, City of Bethany and WAY more. Everything that I have read from the scriptures has just been coming alive just in the past few days. Especially today when we were driving on the " Road of the Ancient Prophets," which is the road that Abraham traveled on through Jerusalem to get to Hebron. CRAZY! I have been able to see the places of where the great battle with the prophet Joshua happened when the Lord made the Sun and Moon stop, so that the Israelites could defeat their enemies. So much history, religion, geography and culture. I LOVE IT.
It has only been our first trip! You know how scientists tell us that we only use like 8% brain capacity? I feel like that after these 3 1/2 months I'll be using like 25% brain capacity ha ha. The classes seem super hard, but the teachers are absolutely amazing and I know that I'll gain SO much knowledge. I strongly recommend to anyone that if they have the chance to come to Jerusalem and be able to study or visit the sites, DO IT. I have only been here for 3 days and it has already changed my life.
Ah Ah AH!!!! I remember this field trip! Wow, I can't believe you got to see all of that. Okay, teacher and classes. Prepare to be stretched. I've never had my brain hurt so darn much. I can't wait for you to experience that. Best of blessings
