More Egypt Entries! Per request!!!!

Well, I have been chastized by a certain mother of mine to update my blog and make it a bit more extensive :) so I thought I might update the egypt portion and then go from there!!! Oh boy.... I should have brought my journal up to add some enteries but I will just have to go on memeories. Well... Egypt was AMAZING!!! I loved it so much and it went by in such a flurry and feels like I have been back for forever. Lets just do some highlights!I saw the pyramids - walking into those was like walking into a 3000 year old sauna. It was extreemly musty and gross and cramped but the absolute coolest story to tell ever! We got to see the sphinx too and then we went to the valley of the kings! Yay! I saw king tut's tomb and his body!!!! He is really little because he died when he was 19 and he is really shrivled up! We also learned how to make papyrus! I rode a camel and I shopped like a mad women! Most the rest of the stuff is in my emails so I am going to close the Egypt chapter for now! K!

Mt. Siani

This was my very favorite part of the Egypt trip. We hiked up Mount Siani at 2 am and reached the top as the sun began to come over the mountains. A yellow glow was cast over the whole mountain scape. We all were able to sing hymns and then have a testimony meeting.

Giza

Micah's cave!

Wiggling through the "birth canal" in Micah's cave!

Back in Jeruslam!!! It feels great to be back and we have done tons of stuff since being back! This week we had a lot of homework because we are in midterm time (which is actually fun over here because we have been to the places that the questions are about!:) In between all of that we explored the Sephelah low lands wich include: Jericho, Elah Valley (where david slew goliath!!!), Azekah, and Lachish! It was so cool because a lot of the places we visited I didn't even realize that they were in the scriptures and then - BAM! - I was reading and I thought... no way! I have been there! Way cool! This week we have been busy picking olives (on the Mount of Olives;) and next week we get to press them to make consecrated olive oil.

Last Shabot we watched the Saturday morning session of conference and this week we get to watch the rest of it! Yay! Baisically everything is moving along happily and I love every minute here!
