Thoughts from Jordan and Jeru

We went to Jeresh in Jordan. It is a way cool sight that has wonderfully preserved Roman ruins. When we were there we watched a gladiator match. I was totally yelling at the top of my lungs for him to beat the other guy. At the end of the show we went down to get pictures and he looked straight at me and scowled and I just scowled back and he said, "you... I heard you in the stands, you need a picture with me" It was way funny because every time he would get a good blow in he would turn to the audience and flex his pectorals muscles. You just had to love him.

This is me and Elizabeth in the garden tomb. Elizabeth is from Nigeria and she was there on a spiritual journey. There have been a lot of Nigerians at all the Christian sites as of late. Last Shabat (sabath) a group of 5 of us went singing and she joined in. It was really cool that we were from different continents, but we sang the same songs. That day we also talked to Peter (you can see him in the back) he is originally from Nigeria, but moved to Canada. We told him we were there studying the scriptures and he asked if we were all ministers children. I chuckled inside and told him we were Mormon. It was a really cool day.
