This will be my final post from Jerusalem to end the experience of a lifetime. As I have been thinking over the past few days and looking back on the experiences I have had this semester it almost seems fairytale-ish or a dream from which I don't want to wake. It truly has been a once in a lifetime experience that has changed me forever. I have seen and walked the sites where Christ walked, healed, preached and blessed. I studied his words where he preached them and felt his love where he expressed and showed it to his disciples. I have experienced more than I deserve and have learned much from the holy sites, friends at the JC, the scriptures, the natives, exceptional professors, and from the wonderful example of Jesus Christ. Israel has become a part of me, it has sunken deep into my soul and will never be rooted out. O, Jerusalem I will never forget thee! Here are some pictures to recap the good times that were had in this blessed land.

| Palm Sunday March. It was so cool to see the thousands of people who came to Jerusalem to celebrate the triumphal entry and the last week of Christ's life. |
 |
| Weirdest thing I have done in awhile.... float in the Dead Sea. The craziest phenomenon. I loved bobbing but be careful not to get the salt in your mouth or eyes, it stings like crazy. |
 |
| Dome of the Rock |
 |
| My sanctuary in the Old City, the Western Wall. |
 |
| Old City Street! |
 |
| Herodian Palace. One of my favorite pictures. |
 |
| Sunset Club at its finest. Never has the sun had such devout fans. |
 |
| Pyramids! |
 |
| At the finish line of the first marathon in Jerusalem. I only ran the 4.2 k but it was still fun and totally worth it. |
 |
| Little Sabrina at Ein Gedi. She is a doll. I am going to miss her. |
