Church at Tiberias, Galilee

I was really excited to be able to go to church with the branch in Tiberias, as well as seeing the view that is second to the centers view in the church. Plus I really wanted to see how their branch was and how big it would be. The branch is small and new, but the branch meets in a house that was dedicated by Elder Holland to be a church building.

Here is Lizzie and I in front of the church with the Sea of Galilee behind us.


After church we went to Yardenit, a major baptismal site on the Jordan river. HEre they had lots of people being baptized with many gates and rails installed inside the different areas on the river. There was also a video station where they could record the baptisms as well as a huge store and a nice looking resturant. It was cool to go and watch the baptisms, escpecially when there was a large group of singing going on and the group looked like they were from Eastern Africa. I knew they looked liked the people from Ethiopia or around that area due to how their skin was.
Here I am holding the picture from the Bible pictures that is the exact spot of were the photo was taken. Its been fun trying to find all the places that are in the bible and to see them in real life.
