Farewell Jordan :)

Our last day in Jordan we went to a couple of different places. One of them was a beautiful mosque, one of the biggest in Jordan. It was really beautiful and all of the girls had to wear these outfits that looked remotely like the ones death eaters wear in Harry Potter.... but we got to learn a little bit more about how Muslim's pray and it was really neat experience. Then we went to another ancient Roman site and museum. They have some of the copper dead sea scrolls there which were really cool to see. The picture is one that was taken in front of what remains of a temple dedicated to Hercules. After the mosque and museum we went to the Jordan River where some Christians believe that Christ was baptized. The river wasn't exactly what I pictured but it was still beautiful nonetheless and it was a very special experience to learn about Christ's baptism while sitting there on the banks of the Jordan River. I absolutely loved my time in Jordan and would love to go back in a heartbeat. While we were there we had the chance to talk to the district president there in Amman and he said some interesting things about why we as BYU students and representatives of the LDS church are there. He thinks there is a bigger purpose for us to be there, learning about the people and the language, than any of us know right now. I hope to be able to come home in just a few short weeks and carry the wonderful knowledge that i've gained about this truly holy land to everyone and be an ambassador for the Middle East back in the United States. I have developed a deep love for the people and places that I have had the opportunity to visit. I truly am blessed to have the tremendous experiences that I have had here :)
