Walking the Walks and Talking about the Talks

Pic of the Post — Mt. Arbel

I had a wonderful experience with the class in visiting the Mt. of Beatitudes. It really is a unique and special place where the Lord taught many great truths. I walked out refreshed from the spirit and was greeted by one of these plaques in remembrance of the words Jesus spoke. Of all the letters to have fallen off, it had to be that one.

In Capernaum, Jesus' own city, there is a 4th century synagogue built upon the foundations of the 1st century synagogue where Jesus would have spent a large majority of His time teaching the people. It was humbling to know that Christ had been within ten yards of where I was standing, thousands of years ago.

When given the opportunity to eat a little bit of the Galilean tradition: fish. I was sure to not forgo the experience, regardless of how alive the fish looked or felt.

Did I mention that the Sea of Galilee is pretty? Pretty awesome?

On the boardwalk in Tiberius, I was on a journey to find a modest T-shirt that really embodied my countless character traits—this was the one that spoke to me the most.

This has been my home for the past five-six days. And will be for five more days. Enjoy and live vicariously through me. Did I mention the beach is maybe 100 meters from our little cabins?

After a spiritual Sacrament Meeting where the talks were centered on forgiveness and the Atonement, we men posed for a manly picture on the roof of the branch house.

Who says traveling gets boring? They need to get out more.
