I made it to the Holy Land

Hello family,

I made it safely to Jerusalem and it is so gorgeous! The buildings and city is unbelievable and I love the center. It is huge and lots of things to do in it, and many stairs to climb. My room is kinda of small to be sharing with three other girls, but I think I will be able to manage. We have a porch and it looks over the city, and I love it and hope to be spending a majority of my time there.

Today we had orientations and got to know our teachers and had a tour of the center. Surprisingly I know the center in one day and understand the format of the place. I give the credit to those crusises we have taken and being able to understand the layout of the ships. So we need take more cruises and be able to develop on this skill for future use to others.

I found out that the organ here has been in use for 25 years on Saturday and there will be a concert to celebrate it. The Mormon Tabernacle organist flew down for the concert and was here and we were able to hear him play. He was amazing and made that organ sound really good.

I mostly just unpacked today and tomorrow we will be touring the Old city. So I am heading off to bed and will hopefully be able to send this email off tomorrow morning after breakfast.

I love you guys and miss you,

Kelsey
