Greetings from the Gihon!


It was quite the adventure touring the city of David, and taking a little walk through Hezekiah's tunnel, all to end up in the pool of Siloam, literally on the very ground where Christ performed miracles.






A few days later we visited the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. 


The perfect way to spend a Sabbath afternoon, singing hymns at the Garden Tomb.

Shephelah...Rain...Harlots....Arabian Nights...Just Another Day

So...we headed out on our field trip to Shephelah, which was way cool, we visited Azekah(David and Goliath), Bet Shemesh, and Lachish. It was raining the whole day which actually made it an awesome day. Also... i played Samson in the reenactment, so you can watch the video on Huntsy's blog to see how well i fit the part of an awesome spiritual buff guy.

So...pretty average day...rain, food, fell in love with a harlot(http://huntsmansintheholyland.blogspot.com/

ok....Arab night, so fun!!! Anyone want to learn how dance Arab folk dance??? Because...I'm pro. 
And perhaps one of the best parts of the week, a few of us volunteered at an elementary school to help the kids with their English, and it was soooo much fun!!! I love those kids!
