New Arrival

This is Troy Terry, humbly reporting to the world about the wonders of the Jerusalem Center.
It is enormous. Never in my entire life have I seen such an awesome and enchanting building. The stone archways give the building an ancient feel and a smooth look. To enhance our first night in the center, besides having a scrumptuous meal and an astounding tour of the center we were treated to a rare opportunity in the Holy Land: a thunder storm. A real THUNDER STORM!!! How could such a magnificent event take place in the driest of dry places on this globe. Suprisingly, the climate was much different than what I expected. The first thing I noticed after getting off the bus was that the climate was not Arizona/Southern Utah typical. It was anything but. It was almost like a mixture of a temperate forest and a tropical coastal feel. That may be in part due to the fact that they were soon to have a thunder storm.
My plane flights were uneventful, but one of our groups that was going through JFK airport got stranded and they (6 students) were stuck and had to stay the night in the terminal. We were told that they would arrive tomorrow.
