This day started our suppppeeeerrr cloudy, but it cleared up by the end and was beautiful! As much as I loved these field trips, they were also very very long. On the days we didn't have field trips, we had class. I know, class on vacation is a big thumbs down but it actually wasn't too bad! I had finished most of my homework before we came so really it was just scripture reading and that never feels like homework.
Mt. Tabor
This is the traditional site of the mount of transfiguration but LDS scholars think it is most likely on Mt Hermon. This is also the site of Deborah's victory in the Old Testament.
This church has three chapels to commemorate the three tabernacles that the disciples made for Christ, Moses, and Elijah.
You can see that's it's kind of hazy but I had to take a picture of it because I had the opportunity to sing right here! I sang a song from Savior of the World and it fit perfectly with the places we had seen and the things we were learning about Christ. I loved thinking about that musical throughout this trip and the things it taught me and how it strengthened my testimony!
Today started the first of many stone mangers that we saw. Every single time, Dr. Muhlestein would be like, "where's Mary?" and he would take a picture. One time, he announced it to the whole class and they all had the chance to be a little paparazzi while I just sat there and smiled ha! I think I loved this one the most because it had purple pansies in it which were my favorite flower when I was a little girl.
MEGIDDO
As I'm writing about this, I'm remembering that this field trip was seriously the longest of all time haha! We had been hearing about Megiddo ever since we learned about Solomonic gates.
Megiddo has been the site of many battles and is known as the future site of the battle of Armageddon. That led to a great big long discussion about the second coming and the book of revelation. We had quite the view though as a backdrop.
Our last stop was Tel Jezreel. I think our teachers knew that we had kind of had it for the day so out came the theatrics and we had the best lesson I have ever heard in my entire life. We will NEVER forget the story of Ahab and Jezebel after hearing it today. If I ever figure out how to put the video on here I will. It was hilarious. We also got one of our favorite phrases of all time from it: SHALOM JEHU!!! I am seriously SO SO grateful for the amazing teachers I have here!
