We continue to be busy with our preparations to go to Jerusalem--home fix-ups, travel/family plans, etc. But we are trying to take time to read and attend lectures about Jerusalem. What a fascinating journey!
Here is a quote that both touched our hearts and got us more excited about our new home (from a former director of the BYU Jerusalem Center):
"As I think on the grand panorama that is Jerusalem, from our Center located on the Mount of Olives before Old Jerusalem on the east, I am compelled to believe that there is not a more historically majestic, exalted view in all the world. Meditation comes easily with such a view, and as the great historic landmarks pass before my vision, I am reminded that this city, because of its messianic ties, has had and will continue to have a greater impact on man, past, present and future, than any other city on earth; a city with a divine destiny that has determined that it shall be one of two great capitals of the world in the 'last days.'"
(David Galbraith, Jerusalem: The Eternal City p. 470).
