I loved every entry you wrote. I spent one day at the BYU center in 2005, and I was awestruck with its beauty. . . just know that you made a difference in some people's lives.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793764454884569608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200157327270121953.post-16072013108481667952007-06-12T13:27:00.000-07:002007-06-12T13:27:00.000-07:00Hi, you don't know me either.

But I've really enjoyed your stories and I hope to be going to Jerusalem myself in a couple of months.<BR/><BR/>Like Nancy, I'm also glad to hear you say that you feel you understand the Arabs a bit more. There's never enough understanding to go around, so it's good you picked up what you could.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200157327270121953.post-30920439198151710282007-04-23T16:59:00.000-07:002007-04-23T16:59:00.000-07:00Matt,You don't know me either, but I have been fol...Matt,<BR/><BR/>You don't know me either, but I have been following your blog all semester and it has brought back so many amazing memories. I was privliged to be there over 10 years ago (jeez I am old) and it was fun reliving my experience through your eyes. I so wish I had access to some of the technology now available to record my time in the holy land. I especially enjoyed your closing comments because that is very much what happened to me through my experience. Thanks again for letting me tag along anonomously!!!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959607708343064890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200157327270121953.post-27825363107309059832007-04-21T10:19:00.000-07:002007-04-21T10:19:00.000-07:00Welcome home, Matt!It was fun to read about your e...Welcome home, Matt!<BR/><BR/>It was fun to read about your experiences in Jerusalem. I really hope to make it over there someday. Andrew wants to be a professor and I told him that it would be cool if we could, you know, teach abroad...hint, hint.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am so glad that in addition to loving the Jewish culture, you also found an appreciation for the Arab culture. I definitely agree with you that they are misrepresented.<BR/><BR/>And of course you had some bad experiences with them, but, you'll have bad experiences with every kind of person you come across--so I just think it is good that you were able to let go of some of the hate towards Arabs that we are exposed to in America.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200157327270121953.post-56590002304179221792007-04-21T09:25:00.000-07:002007-04-21T09:25:00.000-07:00Hi Matt -You don't know me, but I just wanted to s...Hi Matt -<BR/><BR/>You don't know me, but I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience at the Center. I was lucky enough to be in the Center 7 years ago as a student. Reading your experiences brought back so many memories of the great times in the center & in the city. While some memories will fade with time, the love of the people and the city will never fade. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks.Jilly Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170288051675137942noreply@blogger.com
