1. 5 day trip to Jordan. I liked the pool and going snorkeling. I saw tons of sea urchins and little fish.
2. En gedi. I loved swimming in the waterfalls and sliding down the them. The hike was hard but fun and the view was amazing. This was the place where David hid from Saul.
3. Galilea. I loved it when my nana came. I liked climbing Mount Arbel. It was like rock climbing. I loved learning about what happened there…this is where Jesus walked on water and where most of the disciples grew up.
4. Jerusalem! I loved learning about all the historical stuff. I loved the huge model of Jerusalem in the time of Jesus. I enjoyed climbing the mount of olives. This is for sure the place were I learned the most. I loved the museums and Masada.
5. The Dead Sea! Back in March we took a trip to the dead sea for 1 night. I loved being able to float with out swimming. I loved the pool, except it was really cold compared to the dead sea. I loved the all you can eat buffet with all the meat and hot cocoa.
I cant wait to come home. Here I realize how thankful I should be for my friends, family and my house.
Miss you guys a ton and cant wait to come back.

- Swimming in the Dead Sea
- On the top of Masada, in the ancient synagogue…I learned that up to the black line is what the archeologists uncovered. Above the black line is what they reconstructed.
- Me and my brother playing chess outside our apartment
- Playing outside the Old City wall in Jerusalem
- Swimming in the pool with my Dad
- Crossing the border from Israel to Jordan on foot. The mountains in the background are biblical Moab.
- Waiting for our passports to be stamped in Jordan
- My Post-it countdown…I cannot wait to get home

Good Morning Benny-Buck!! We loved your entry today! The pictures and your writing show you have grown in stature and spirit greatly.

We miss you and your family so much and can’t WAIT to see all of you! ! We love you!!!! Gr @ Gr.
Hey Bennett, I know you are excited to be home and see your friends but I wish I could see and experience all that you have seen. I know you will look back and love it. I can just imagine you climbing Mt. Arbel with nana, she is such a good hiker, and the sliding down the waterfalls, too cool. Today is Cory’s birthday and he is in school studying just where you are and he would love to be there to see it all for himself. He is praying about going to Russia to play hockey and work with Athletes in Action for Jesus for a year, he just got back from 2 weeks there with Liberty’s Hockey team. Looking forward to seeing you all soon, love, Nancy and Big D
