Slingin' some stones
A few Monday's ago we went on a sweet field trip. We went to some of the valleys and sites around Jerusalem. Our first stop was Gath; Goliath's (of David fame) hometown. It was so pretty! So green, and it was such a beautiful day. Our teacher, Bro Chadwick, excavates there--so he told us so much about pottery sherds and walls and...other ancient stuff. But he knows so much! It's crazy.
We did other cool things throughout the day too.
We went to an ancient tomb, the Bell Caves, where we sang hymns and were silent after and they rang for a few seconds, it was so pretty.
We went to Elah, where the big battle of David and Goliath took place. Slung some stones, traipsed through the mud, it was great.
It is seriously so much fun going to all the places full of Biblical history!

I hope that you were singing my Sing-along David song... "I am David! and while the Lord is on my side, there is no need to run and hide, the Lord knows the day that you must die... and SO DO IIIIIIII!!! I am DAVID!!!!!" Did you sing that? or at least hear me sing it in your mind?
