I leave tonight/ tomorrow morning at 2 am and I am 100% excited to go home for Christmas, and 100% traumatized to be leaving this place and these people. We sang " Each Heart that Touches us for Good" and "God be With you Till we Meet Again" yesterday and I totally LOST it both times.
today, however, was the perfect day. It was a free day and we were able to go out in the city. My goal goign into the city today was to make it one to remember for a lifetime, to typify my experience here. And it exceeded all my expectations! I really feel like had Christ gone to the Old City today, he would have done exactly as I had. It is the most amazing feeling!!! Here is the condensed rundown:
Nathan, Alison, Sarah and I went to the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock first thing this morning

Christmas Concert!

A man videotaped our Christmas concert and put it up on Youtube! Here is the link. I haven't been able to watch it, so hopefully it isn't embarassing. HA! it was really fun and an awesome experience to share withthe community. They were so grateful and it was powerful to feel the Christmas spirit with Jews, Muslims, and Christians.
