So tired!

Today was awesome. We were able to see the 2000-year-old wooden boat that very well could have been the boat that Jesus was in on the Sea of Galilee. We rode on a boat over Galilee! It was gorgeous! We also went to Capernaum, where the incredible story of Jairus and his dying daughter was raised from the dead. Jairus’ house was right by the Synagogue of Jesus. Peter was also lived in Capernaum. We visited two churches and the Synagogue today.  At the Church of the Primacy we talked about the significance of Peter and how Peter was chosen and set apart and later became the first Bishop of Rome. This place is remembered in John 21:15 as the place where Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him.  The correlation is found when Jesus asked Peter three times if he loves him and then Peter later denies Jesus three times.

We had a delicious lunch of “Peter’s Fish” on the Sea of Galilee. It was actually the whole fish, with the body and head and everything. It was so good! The last place we visited was the Church of the Beattitudes. We talked about resistance without evil intentions. It was such a beautiful church. I loved how it was on the water, and there were beautiful flowers everywhere. It was so windy because we were right by the water.

Lastly, we went to the Jordan River and people were baptized. I have personally already been baptized, but I was very excited for everyone who made the decision to be baptized. It is a really awesome opportunity to be baptized in the same place as Jesus! We stayed up until past 2 am talking so 6 am came really early today. It was an incredible day.
