It's Done!

I am officially done with my talk! (Huge sigh of relief). It was a good topic to study about and I can honestly say I am glad that I gave the talk, but I am so happy it's over. For those wondering the details of my talk, I will post it at a later date.

I Have to Give a Talk Tomorrow!

I have to speak tomorrow at church. I'm a bit nervous. But I hope and pray that it will go all right. My topic is Mosiah 4:6-7 and how we can come to better understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
I'll let you all know how it goes. I might even give you a synopsis of it on here tomorrow after I give it. Please pray for me. That's all.

Flashback Friday- I Miss Jerusalem!

All of these pictures were taken on my last day in the Holy Land! Look at the sky! Isn't it amazing!? These pictures don't really do it justice, but they give you a good idea! This is part of an entry from my journal from my last day there:

I love the clouds here in the Holy Land, the sky in general is pretty amazing! I really think the sky here is so much more beautiful than in America. I'm not kidding. The clouds, the colors, the way the sun shines through the clouds. It is all so beautiful! Today is our last day in the Holy Land. It rained earlier today. It is chilly and cloudy right now, but I feel a warmth in my heart. I am so grateful for the time I've had here in the Holy Land, in Egypt, and in Jordan.

I like to think it rained today because the city is crying because we are leaving. And now the sky is orange, dark blue, light blue, and golden yellow because God is painting a masterpiece for us before we leave. He wants us to remember the city in this way, in all its beauty and majesty. I am so grateful for God's beautiful creations. I am so grateful for this magnificently beautiful last day in the Holy Land.













We went to the Old City for one final tour! This is Shaaban. He's a souvenir shop owner in the Old City who loves and caters to the students from the Jerusalem Center!
