First of all we had the Southern Kingdom and Judah field trip. This included the City of David, Hezekiah's Tunnel, Pool of Siloam and the Broad Wall (half day with sack lunch with the boom bar). The city of David is on the south east corner of the Old City. We had the same view that David had when he was out past curfew, and we all know what happens after the Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight... He found his true lust, and yup that was the end of his spiritual sponsorship by God.
Next, we trunched through the tunnel that was built thousands of years ago. Many of us turned off our lights and stumbled aimlessly hitting our heads repeatedly, and as we did so we couldn't help but shout out for joy. We had a great time because the tunnel was really, really, really cool! Some of us might have complained about being wet and maybe a little cold, but others were happy due to the fact that they were able to roll up their pants to undecent heights. Who would have thought that a dirty old tunnel, built by an ancient king, could entertain 80 spirited young adults. Next we followed a few of the city streets to the Pool of Siloam where Christ sent a blind man to be healed. Christ made some clay/mud put it on the man's eyes and sent him to the pool. Symbolically, we walk blind in this world, and only after we have repented, or washed in the pool like the blind man can we truly see.
