-got up and did ballet with tessa
-took my old testament midterm and felt absolutely great about it
-went to my ancient near east class and learned fascinating things about ancient religions
-went to my ancient near east class and learned fascinating things about ancient religions
-helped make hygiene kits for the church humanitarian effort
-went to the old city with anna, amanda and kali and sung hymns in St. Anne's, the traditional -birthplace of Mary, and a cathedral with absolutely beautiful acoustics.
-Followed the 14 stations of the Via Dolorosa, the traditional path of Jesus on his way to Calvary. Tripped right as we passed the station where He stumbled the second time (this was more entertaining than it was a deep spiritual experience)
-Spent time in the church of the Holy Sepulchre when the priests were doing the Friday ceremonies and it was full of devout believers
-Ran from Shabbat as the sun started to set and we had to be back at the center before dark. Really, running back from the old city.
- watched the most incredible film, which i've seen before, but means so much more after what I have already learned and lived here. Journey of Faith, please watch it. Or watch it with me and maybe my excitement about this documentary will make it better for you =)
-talked to two amazing girls about amazing things, wrote in my journal and now can't wait to go to bed
in amazement,
alyssa
