The Ultimate road trip... Jordan!

I just got back from Jordan- by far Petra was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life! Here are some pictures and descriptions that show some of the trip but honestly the memories cant be described and some of them like singing the baptism primary songs at the river Jordan, acting out in an old Roman Theatre with Dev, Kenz and Dwight and eating ice cream out of a tub with spoons on the top of the hotel are things I will always remember but cant show:)

PETRA!- The Nabateans were a people in the 4th century AD who cut out over 800 rock cut tombs and built these temples right into the red rock. We hiked around the site for a couple hours and still didn't see even close to as much as was there. So far only 1/20th of the city has been excavated. There are native Jordanians all over offering necklaces, camel, horse and donkey rides and all sorts of trinkets. Although it was pretty steamy hot, there was a nice mountain breeze and you were so amazed it was worth the heat!

Yep here is my camel- he was pretty great

Jerash- who knew there were cool Roman ruins in Jordan?

Going to the Jordan River was such a neat experience, we were able to sing primary baptism songs and feel the spirit so strong witnessing to us that Christ really was baptized near there and were reminded of our own baptismal covenants we had made. 

Finally going to the Jabbock River where Jacob "wrestled" with the Lord reminded us of the importance of having personal prayers that are meaningful and coming to the Lord often.
