I love going places on Sabbath. Sabbath last week a group of us went to the Garden of Gethsemane. This the 2nd time I've been there, but the 1st time was at the very beginning and wasn't that great of an experience because of lots of different reasons. Regardless of that, I was really excited to go this time and have a better personal experience. It was successful, I had a great time. It was the best opportunity to sit and think about life and my Savior. Perfect.
Inside the Church of All Nations next to the Garden.
Across the street from the public entrance to the Garden there is this private area. Here you are allowed to sit amidst the olive trees. On the public side where I've been it is fenced off. I didn't go in here because of time but I will next time.
After we left the Garden there were some other places right in the area that we stopped by.
This is inside the Greed Orthodox church that houses the tomb of Mary. This is where the sarcophagus is.
The outside of the church.
Then we went to the Grotto of Gethsemane.
Our small group that went exploring and found these cool places.
Walking home. Gotta love this place.
I'm so glad that I went there on Sabbath. It was a great afternoon after church. And then right when we got home we had dinner and they had wonderful brownies for dessert. It was so lovely :) Just so you know, that never ever happens here. So it was a good day! We also got to watch the Relief Society broadcast from before Conference today during church. I love church and our leaders. Especially President Monson! Seriously, he’s so great.
