We got on the bus and we met our tour guide Shalom which means Peace. Shalom was a teacher before this job and he taught us all about the history about Israel, including that it takes a total of 6 hours to drive all the way through Israel. He also said that Egypt has some of Israel's land.
Shalom told us the story of a man named Abraham that believed in God so much that he was going to kill his son on this rock. Then before he killed his son, the angel Gabriel came and said that he had passed the test and so his son lived.
Then we got off the bus and went to the Church of All Nations.
We went to the Garden of Gethsemane and 3 of the trees are more than 900-1,000 years old. It is also where Jesus prayed to God right before he got arrested while he was praying with his disciples. Then Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek to tell the people that he was the one to arrest that he was Jesus aka the son of God.
