Today was our Sabbath, so we had breakfast at 8, Church at 10. After church we walked to the Garden Tomb. It was so amazing. So amazing. There was the most peaceful feeling there. There were trees and flowers everywhere. First we went to look at Skull Rock, a hill that they think might be Golgotha. Then we went to the tomb. They told us where in the tomb they thought Jesus was laid, and on the door there was a sign that said "He is not here for He is risen". We sang lots of hymns about Christ and the Resurrection, and there was the most powerful Spirit there.
After dinner we had a fireside by Elder Pieper of the Seventy. It was a question/answer thing, and he had some really cool insights to some of the questions that students and permanent members had.
We just got done watching The Prince of Egypt, because we are all getting so excited to leave for Egypt on Thursday! At every scene of the movie someone would yell out, "Guys, we're going to see that!" It was really cool. Tomorrow a bunch of us are getting a bus to take us over to Tel Aviv to shop and play on the beach! Sooooo excited for that too.

Was the sign "He is risen" in English?
It was in English. I'm not sure who put it there, or when, but the church that runs the Garden now is European, so most of the signs are in English.
