Day 97

This morning we had NT and our last ANE class before the final. The NT class especially is getting soooo good as we learn about the end of the Savior's life and His resurrection. I wasn't ready for class to be over, even after 2 hours, because this, to me, is the very best part of the Bible and I love it.

After lunch I went out into the Old City to do some shopping and finish up a couple of site reports that are due tomorrow. We exchanged money, picked up some tshirts, got some gummies, and looked around at a couple of other things that people wanted to buy. We were all over the place, down a lot of different streets that I had never been to before. It was really fun to see some new sights in the Old City, even though I've been there so many times.

We stopped at Via Dolorosa and on the way back up the hill to the JC to do site reports. We read scriptures that go along with those places and then we have to turn in a list of 20 of those throughout the semester. It's actually a really great assignment, because it makes us really stop and think at the places we go to about the true significance of those places in the life of the Savior.

Last night we watched the last section of the Messiah series that we have been watching for the past few weeks. It was about the Atonement and the Resurrection, and it was the best one we've seen so far. I love that in these last days of our trip we are surrounded with all of these things about the Savior, because really that's why we're all here in Jerusalem, to learn about Him.
