Life as Royalty!

I know I haven't updated since I've been here in Jerusalem! Such a sin! And now we're leaving for Turkey in about forty minutes, (Loading up in ten) so this will have to be short.

But, most importantly, I love it here! I feel like this is as close to living in a palace that I will ever come. There are 8 levels in the center, terracing down Mt. Scopus, which is a hill next to the Mount of Olives. Our back doors open onto patios/balconies that overlook the whole city. Such a view. And our front doors open into small courtyards and hallways open to the sky. It's so lovely!

And Jerusalem! I won't go into much detail now, but it is an amazing city. There is so much history here, and so many people have their center of faith in this place. It is both powerful and humbling to be living here among such people, around so much history.

Shout out to Todd, who's birthday I missed! Happy late birthday! Love you!

Ok, time to go. Sending my love to everyone back home, and everyone at BYU! (Ha, or the five people maybe who read this! But I'll be prideful and pretend it's more!)

Onward and Upward,
Cali
