First Call to Prayer

The past two days have come and gone in a whirlwind. I am finally at the BYU Jerusalem Center! Amidst all the excitement and the growing to-do list I have I paused to reflect on my balcony tonight. With the ethereal voice of the imam sounding the evening prayer and the lights of the city beneath me I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude to be here. I can already feel the extraordinary spirit of this place.
