Under the Jerusalem Center

So for those of you who don't really know about the Jerusalem Center, let me give you a brief picture about how incredible it is. It is on Mount Scopus, overlooking Jerusalem. It is 8 stories tall, goign down the side of the hill so there is no elevator access; instead there are 150 stairs ( I tend to count them). It was built with THE BEST materials from all over the place Italy, Africa, bla, bla, etc. k and it cost over 20 million to build... in the 80's. It is the single most costly project/building the church has ever built, excluding the new conference center in SLC. WOW. we went on a tour underneath it today and it was pretty neat! There is open space all under the center for maintenance, possible additions, pipes, etc. We got to write our names on the wall down there too, in hopes to get grafitting out of our system before we go too many places around the middle east. Ha!
