Here's another Israel layout! My husband decided to be baptized in the Jordan River with many of our group. It was an amazing experience for everybody.
One of our agents is from Israel, and his family still lives there. His Dad is a Pastor and was happy to do the honors of baptizing our group!! You may wonder why I didn't get baptized. I was one of the hosts/planners of the trip, so I felt like I needed to be helping out. Probably a lame excuse! Honestly, I was also a bit afraid of the muddy water, and doing it in front of a group of my peers.
My husband loved the experience! We were both baptized in our teen years, but this was meant to be a symbolic experience, being baptized at close to the very spot where John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3: 16-17
