I lived in Israel?!


Yes... it's true.

I lived abroad in Jerusalem attending the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. It was perhaps one of the greatest things that I have ever done thus far in my life. I learned a lot about the culture, history and the people of the Holy Land. I will never be able to read the scriptures the same, for I will see the places in my minds eye, whenever anyone mentions them. But one of the greatest lessons that I learned while living in Israel was that God loves all of His children. Muslim, Jewish, or Christian He loves us all-- more than we could ever really know.
