Jason managed to stay an extra day while in Tel Aviv for work to take in some impressive sights.
He said, "It's very unique to go and see many of these artifacts that were around when Christ lived there. And to know that you're in an area that he was in. And you don't know exactly where he was but you know that he spent part of his life and ministry right there. Some of them have a very powerful feeling, like the Garden tomb and the Garden of Gethsemani."
"But the best thing I did was to attend Sacrament meeting there at the Jerusalem Center. It's not the old city, that reminds us of him, it's his life and ministry. He gave us the sacrament so we could remember him. It was a humbling experience to be able to help pass the sacrament right there, in Jerusalem. And the church building there is so amazing. The chapel has these large beautiful windows. You are sitting there listening to testimonies of Christ while looking out on the city of Jerusalem.
