Sabbath... on Sunday.

Since September 3, we've had church on Saturday... So we would always say shabbat shalom and the like. It has been really nice and I've actually gotten really accustomed to having a free Sunday!

Today though, we went back to the normal world and we had church on Sunday. It would've been strange had we had a real schedule and our schedule was just thrown off. But we've been so busy and traveling and such so we really don't have a distinction between weekdays/weekends/Sabbath. haha

We went to a super small little ward/branch? but it was pretty good. We took a bus and then a tram and then walked a block to get there and we got there right on time, perfect!

The funny thing was that there were SO many missionaries in that ward.
A Senior Couple, a companionship of Elders and a trio of Sisters. Out of control.

And people were super excited to hear that we had just gotten back from Jerusalem. One of the Sisters went there in Winter '10 and there was a girl in the ward whose parents were in town and we were talking to the mom, from Lindon, UT, and her other daughter just got back from Jerusalem in April. Crazy.

It was a fun little adventure.

We then went downtown to visit a couple of churches. And just like the Taylors told us the other day, it was weird going into a church and not having to put on our ears and listen about the Byzantines and all that. haha and for the record, insense still makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. Good thing there is none of that in the States. :)

And now it's time to pack and get ready to leave soon. Tomorrow is our last full day and Tuesday involves leaving for the airport at 4:30 am or so. Normally I would complain about that but that is the theme of this trip so we've come to accept it.

:)
