Galilee Day 6--Going to Jesus' home branch

Sabbath day on Saturday is really just pretty weird.  I love it.  But, it still is a bit odd.  I woke up and went to breakfast and then studied the New Testament for my test coming up.  Usually I feel guilty studying on Sundays the Sabbath, but studying the scriptures in Galilee just felt great.

Then at 2 we headed to Tiberius to go to church.  Apparently one apostle said that this would be Jesus' home branch...pretty legit.  It was a small little room that could only hold about 50 of us.  When we walked in I could smell homemade rolls.  I was secretly hoping all through church that somehow I would get fresh warm bread.  I didn't, but the smell was great.  Maybe that's as close to the smell of Thanksgiving I will get.  But, it smelled so good!

The meeting was great and then we went out on the balcony and looked out onto the Sea of Galilee.  Seriously, it is so beautiful!

Then we went to the Jordan River where Professor Ludlow got baptized.  Oh, and its also a traditional spot people get baptized and perhaps where Jesus was baptized.  It got dark pretty quick so we had to come home but it was pretty fun.

Dinner was pretty normal and then I watched a movie and went to bed (pretty early once again--my biological clock tells me that at 7 it is midnight...its been weird).
Yay for being in Galilee!
