- "...men should be anxiously engages in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; for the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves." (D&C 58:26-29)

Just making some hummus!
On our way to Eilat where we went snorkeling.
And btw these hills along this road are where Lehi and his family wandered for 11 days. You can see now why the boys murmured when they were sent back to Jerusalem.
Just getting ready to scare the fish.
Beautiful beach of Eilat. A mile south of this spot is Egypt. We were almost in EGYPT!
Yad Vashem: Holocaust Museum. 
Coolest Part...every single of these trees represents a family or a group of people who helped save Holocaust victims in various ways. These trees are located on the path where you enter and exit the museum. As you enter and exit you are reminded of those who were great during such a harsh war and sad times. You are reminded of the good in the world, and the blessings we are all given no matter the circumstances at the time.
The night of the Holocaust museum we were lucky enough to have a Holocaust survivor come and speak with us. It was shocking, sad yet so interesting to hear his different stories. He mentioned that when he is telling these stories he doesn't even believe himself, let alone having others believe him. (He spoke Spanish so Neil is translating for him.)
This is at Shabaan's for those of you who have been here. His son Omar wanted us to dress up as Bedouin women for their Facebook pages.
The Running Club! This sunrise is one of the main reasons I get up early to run in the morning.
Dad, this one is for you. You should be proud, this hill (if you can see it) is the hill we conquer in the morning. There is another just before this that is part of the route as well. I'll be honest though, day 1 I walked half way up it, but after that I was not a wuss anymore.
Arab Night! Party in the Oasis.
