Mount Tabor: the traditional site of the Transfiguration, although it
most likely was Mt. Hermon. In Matthew 17, Jesus, Peter, James, and John went “up into an high mountain apart,” and “there appeared unto them Moses and Elias (Elijah)”. I learned that Moses and Elijah were translated so they could restore the priesthood keys by the laying on of hands to the First Presidency of Christ’s dispensation. Brother Judd gave a devotional in which he emphasized making it our #1 goal to get married in the temple. But once we make it there, there’s so much more to do. We make sacred covenants in the temple, but we go home to keep those covenants. All these discussions about the temple are becoming so much more meaningful to me as I prepare to make covenants with the Lord in His holy house.

We also went to Gan Hoshlosha, an ancient spring that has
been turned into a beautiful little oasis!
After we got back from the field trip I went on a stellar
sunset run with Erin Wankier, Caitie McBride, and Kate Lewis. What a great way
to combine three of my favorite things: sunsets, good friends, and running!
