It's not about the place, It's about the person.

Throughout the day we were able to wander the city for the first time on our own! We first went to the Western (Wailing) Wall. What a different culture. For the first time today I was able to accept other cultures. I began to feel and accept the gestures and worships that other religions participate in. I am still learning of course. We had some time left before we had to head back so a friend lead us to the Garden Tomb.You walk up a little hill to the entrance and they guide you around to Galgotha and then to the tomb.He described at Galgotha how he sacrificed and lifted a barrier from us and put it on himself so now we can be in connection with God and there is nothing blocking us. It was incredible to feel such piece in a wild and loud and crazy city. It is so cool to see the Savior present. You could feel your heart pouring out in gratefulness towards him for his sacrifice, for the resurrection. Seeing this was not what I expected at all, but even better and more unique that I had imagined.
