- I was called as the teacher for the Sunbeams class in the Jerusalem Center Primary. I have three darling sunbeams. Two are children of the teachers here at the center, and the other is the child of an American family that lives in Jerusalem. I am so looking forward to having the opportunity to teach these little children about the Gospel while in Jerusalem, just as Christ did during much of his mortal ministry.
- I joined the branch choir! We sing the prelude music each week before sacrament meeting, and it's fun.
- I spent a peaceful afternoon in the Garden of Gethsemane.
What a blessing it is to be in this wonderful place! I'll add some pictures later!
That's awesome that you get to teach Primary, Elise. How close are you to the Garden of Gethsemane? Do you just walk there? Jealous.
ReplyDeleteWow. What an amazing thing to do on a Saturday!
ReplyDeleteFunny story about the sunbeans from a previous sunbeam teacher. They took the children outside because it was a warm day. One of the boys began saying "I hear God's voice. I hear Him!" They asked what He was saying, and then he started mimicking the call to prayer! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you get into the private garden?
Oh the memories! I am just so so so happy you get to experience Sabbaths in Jerusalem. It doesn't get much more peaceful than that.
