Saturday May 5th we went to the Garden Tomb. I loved it. Whether or not this was the place where Christ was buried really is insignificant. The part that really matters is that he rose again.
Our tour guide Roy was an enthusiastic English Christian volunteer, who was very disappointed if we didn't express our excitement about the Resurrection with exuberant exclamations of "Amen"! So with Amens and shouts of joy we proclaimed that He is risen. One of my favorite parts was Roy explaining that when he realized that the Mormons were coming, he signed up to make sure he got to tour us. He can always tell the Mormons apart because "there is just something special about you."
John 5:5-9
"And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
"When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
"The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
"Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up they bed, and walk.
"And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath."

Zedekiah's Caves. Pictures, pictures, pictures. We went crazy with cameras: planking, shadow, Joe's pick-up lines... all good.
