Well what can I say. There was a bomb threat, the sirens did go off and we did have to go to the bomb shelters. But it all only lasted about 30 minutes and the rockets landed south of Bethlehem, which is five miles south of Jerusalem. All in all it was quite an adventure and looking back now it is kind of surreal, like something out of a movie. Everything is back to normal and that night we had our very own JC Prom. Yeah yeah, I know how it sounds and frankly I was a little apprehensive at first. As most know dances aren't usually my thing but I can honestly say it was really fun. We had two to three girls to every boy so all the pictures look like we are all polygamist but there are some pretty good ones. We had a dinner, a picture booth (it looked like something from a vegas wedding) dancing and even royalty. The big winners were the Benchs, who are one of the couples that help out here at the center. They are awesome and it was so much fun to have them join in. We actually had a few couples join us, the District President and his wife and the Squires who are the music people here.
I can't believe we have less than a month here, time has gone by so quickly and I am not so sure I will be ready to leave when the time comes. We are off to Galilee tomorrow for eleven days which I am super excited for. Most of the events in the Gospels take place in the Galilee and so we actually get to study while we go to the places. It just can't get better than that.
Picture time. There were some people who took pictures while in the shelters but I haven't received those yet, so those will have to wait. For now here are some prom pictures and maybe a few more.
