Israel Trip/ April 15-May 1

Shopping at the Cairo bazarre. Mike bought me a beautiful bracelet of silver and turquois

We're headed down into Tut's tomb. His mummy is here as well as his sarcophagus



We're on an overlook of Tel Aviv, a beautiful and modern city in Israel.



This is our fabulous group. 41 of us originally, all family and friends of the Faust family.

I haven't said much about our trip, but it was amazing. The people we got to know were wonderful and Mike and I learned sooooo much. Everywhere we went we were dumbfounded by the incredible history. There were so many Roman ruins. We walked on Roman roads and mosaics that were 2000 years old. Our favorite spiritual place was the BYU Jerusalem center on the Mt. of Olives. The story behind it's creation was awe inspiring. I'm putting on a few more pictures to share.

We're at Petra in Jordan with Lonnie and Steve Carlston

This is called the Treasury in Petra. It was Fabulous!



Our trip to Israel was incredible. We couldn't have had a better time. We made some wonderful friends and got to know a lot of great people. Seeing sights from history and the bible were so exciting, and our testimonies grew as we followed the Savior's steps during his last week of life. Now as we read from the scriptures they take on new meaning because we have a frame of reference. We are so glad we went and want our family to know we have a strong testimony of the Savior and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
