The Garden tomb was the highlight of our visit. You could feel the spirit so strongly. Whether or not this is the exact place, it really doesn't matter. What was testified to us was that it DID happen! Christ truly did forsake the tomb!
Not the original stone, but cool none-the-less.
This plaque is in the Garden.
BYU Jerusalem or the "Mormon University" was closed for visitors the day we came. They must of heard that U of U fans were coming . . .
Great view from the Mount of Olives.
Colette at the Western Wall.
Madaba church
Example of ancient mosaic tile from Madaba.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Colette got this amazing picture! The room was really dark but when she took the picture so did someone else so she got double the flash. Right afterwards one of the employees asked for "no pictures to be taken."
Entrance to the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem. It is very small! Apparently people kept bringing their animals into the church, so they made he door big enough for just people!
Just inside the door of the above picture.
Under the church in a small cave is the site where Christ was to have been "laid in a manger".
The artwork is so beautiful and ornate.
This is coming up from the cave.
These olive trees date back to the time of Christ! This is said to be the site of Gethsemane. It was a marvelous experience to look at these trees and be reminded of the what the Savior did for us. Because of what he did here (or close by) we are all free from our sins and can all live with God again! I shed some very grateful tears here! 
Dome of the rock. In front is the "Golden Gate" which is said to be the gate by which Jesus will come through when he returns. 
This is one of the seven open gates. We began our trek through the "Via Dolorosa." Said to be the path in which Jesus Carried the cross through the city. 
Another picture of the Wailing Wall. We had to wait our turn, but it was worth it. If you look closely you can see thousands of notes (prayers) shoved in the cracks. 
Example of the streets of the "Old town" or within the walls of the old city.
Said to be the stone upon which Christ's body was put after taken from the cross. People would kiss and touch the stone. Also, they would rub things they had purchased on top.
One thing I've seen time and time again . . . kids are exactly the same where ever you go!
Great views from here! You can see the whole Jordon Valley.
