After getting back from our camping trip we awoke to the power being out. Because of this and it being Shabbat we took the day pretty easy taking naps and watching movies on our laptops.
Sunday we had our Samaria field study. For this field study we had to chance to go see Shechem, Shiloh, Mt Gerazin, and the Samaritan village. Even with it raining the whole day it was an awesome day of learning. None of us had ever traveled to these places when we were here before so it was a great experience. We also had to privilege to go to the settlement on top of Mount Gerazin where the Samaritans still live to this day. We got to meet real Samaritans and we even got to talk to a priest about their beliefs. We also got invited back to go see their passover service where they actually sacrifice a lamb for each family!
I had a great birthday traveling around Israel. There was another girl here who had the same birthday so we even go made some deserts for everyone while we were on the field study. That night some of us went out for ice cream and also celebrated Chris's birthday and Krystal's!
Today another week of classes has started and this coming week Mark, Chris, and I are taking another camping trip to the Jerusalem forest by the recommendation of Dr. Wright and then on Saturday we head out for a three day field study in the Negev where we are suppose to get some weather around the 80s!
