Oh Jerusalem if I forget you

I apologize to all my faithful blog followers (because I know there's just so many of you) for not being on top of it and writing for a while. I feel like I have never been so busy in my life and yet never enjoyed myself so much. I still wake up every morning and can't believe I have the opportunity to live in the most beautiful city in the world. For the past couple weeks we've gone on a couple field trips: one to some Israelite towns of Lachish and Azekah that were conquered by the Assyrians and Babylonians- we also hit up the valley of Elah where David slew Goliath. It's pretty cool to actually see the places that we read about in the Bible. Also, we went to the City of David which is just the part of Jerusalem that existed when David was King and conquered the city. We got to see some ruins from the fire of the Babylonians and also walk around the place where most likely David saw Bethsheba when she was bathing on her roof. It was cool because we talked about how David was such a stud but he made a mistake because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time-it made me think about my life and how while I've been here I've been all about trying to figure out what the right path for me is. I know that being here in the Holy Land is the right thing for me right now, and I want to figure out the person that the Lord would have me be for the future.

While we were in the City of David we went through Hezekiah's Tunnel- cool but not the most fun for a person with extreme claustrophobia. Lets just say I cried I was so happy to see the light of day when we got out. It was cool cause at the end of the tunnel we got to see the pool where Christ healed the blind man.

So now that mid-terms are done its time forrrrrrrrrrrrr WORLD CUP!!!!!!! I may or may not have missed half of my class this afternoon because the first game started in the middle of it. Sorry Dad. Anyway, everything is going just great. I'm trying to post some pics for all yall to see!!!!
