Ecce Homo Arch

Eating Spencers jacket haaaa

Where people thought that Jesus was put on trail before his crucifixion.

Service service service.

We went to a school for special needs children and started painting this mural! I did the light green mountains (thanks) and lower green grass.

Then we met some mothers and their kids. This boy is precious!!

This statue portrays the people as diverse. It's a collection of Jews with Nazis in the background without faces depicted and forcing Jews to March. "They went like sheep to the slaughter" The people went without resistance. THey were submissive to their shepherd (Nazis).

These people are depicted as being courageous, confident and resisting defiance. They fought back.

TALENT SHOW.

We had a belly dancing performance ready but that was a no go with the leaders here.

Hurva Synagogue

Seder Dinner!

Spence

Meet my talented friend Spence. I was down on the ground laughing. He is hilarious.

Epic Fail.

These lyrics have been on my mind!!

If the Savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do?
Would I think of His commandments and try harder to be true?
Would I follow His example? Would I live more righteously,
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me, would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more reverently
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me, would my thoughts be clean and pure?
Would His presence give me strength and hope, and courage to endure?
Would His counsel guide my actions? Would I choose more worthily
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

He is always near me, though I do not see Him there
And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care
So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me.

Chill.

"What we are is more important than what we've been and what we can become is more important than what we are."

Pathetic!

Note to self:

No more sugar or gummies :( unless I want to have migraines every day...and become diabetic and huge. Blessing in disguise? I think so. When I ran out of my phone card here and wasn't going to buy a new one my friend said, "you spend 20 dollars on candy every day, you can spend 20 dollars on a new calling card." SAD!! My friend also said I am addicted to candy...after I made my roommates go out with me down the road from the center in a huge rain storm..just to get chocolate.

Hi. My name is Abby Read and I am addicted to sweets.

Waking up at 6 a.m. is terrible. I am not a morning person in any way. Today my roommate Whitney woke me up to go running and I gave her a solid "no" and was about to go back to sleep until I realized that the 1/2 marathon is in 18 days and I have to get into shape if I don't want to die! No pain, no gain. 6 miles was rough until we got to "sunrise bend" looking down on the city watching the sunrise. So gorgeous and so worth it.
