O Little Town of Bethlehem.

A little past half of the semester we switched from studying the Old Testament to the New Testament. We even got new teachers... instead of Brother Muhlestein I got Brother Judd, who was such a great teacher! Our first New Testament field trip was to Bethlehem. First we went to the Herodian, where there was anther palace of Herod, where he also died. Next we went to Bethlehem University. This was such a great experience because we got to talk with students our own age and get to learn a little more about the college atmosphere but in a different country, and the campus was absolutely gorgeous! Next we went to the Church of the Nativity, a place where many Christians believe is where Christ was born. Last of all we went to Shepherd's field, where we had a nice devotional and reflection time. My roommates and I sang a musical number, O Holy Night, along with other musical numbers, and we also had a testimony meeting. Oh, and I also bought my first olive wood nativity set on this field trip... what a good day! :)
