Day 78

We got back today from our trip to Galilee, which was absolutely amazing! It was fun and spiritual, I learned so much, I really got to know people better and I feel like I got to know the Savior better while I was there. We had some pretty incredible field trips, like the Mt. of Beatitudes, the Mt. of Transfiguration, and Caesarea Philippi. We had some fun excursions too, like hiking to waterfalls and rafting down the Jordan River. There were some great firesides and devotionals too. We stayed at a resort run by a kibbutz, and it was sweet. The food wasn't the best, but we were right on the beach so I could wake up every morning and read scriptures or write in my journal with my feet in the Sea of Galilee. It really was the most amazing experience. I kept a pretty good journal of everything we did and saw there, and I will try tomorrow to condense it into a nice summary to post, hopefully with some pictures too. For now I have a bunch of laundry to do, and some catching up on reading and studying. We have our first test on Tuesday for New Testament, and we covered so much during the trip that there will be a lot to review.

P.S. I loved having mail waiting for me when I got back! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
