Day 3 started with a trip to Philidelphia, specifically the city Jerosh. This was a old Roman City, and it has been amazingly preserved. Much of it has been rebuild and re stacked up the columns. Then we went to King Hussein's automobile museum. Which was really cool , but also I am not a huge car person, so I didn't get all of the cool stuff out of it some others did. But one thing I did notice was that cars used to be way more classy in the olden days. Now they are just functional. Then we went to a Jordanian museum of ancient things. Ok, so that isn't the real name, but it is pretty dang close. Then we went and hung out on rainbow street. Rainbow Street is a street in Amman where all the locals come together and play guitar and stuff together. It is really the town center of Amman. And I was standing there, taking the scene in, and my friend Brian leaned over to me and whispered "There is such potential for the gospel here once it is allowed." And suddenly my perspective changed. I viewed these people as sons and daughters of God, and I could see in their faces that there was something missing. And I knew that I had what they were missing. I wanted to share this message with these people. It was a great experience and made me so exited to go to a country where I can preach the gospel legally.
Columns at Jerosh!
Little nook in Jerash.
More pillars . . . .
There was this one pillar where it moved ever so slightly so the spoon you stuck in would move ever so slightly. It was super cool looking.

A four cornered (Israelite/ancient Holy Land) altar.
King Hussein's classy cars.
It is like a tuxedo shoes, but care form.

Me high fiving the fist of a giant Hercules statue they found.
In our hotel room in Amman, it had stickers on the ceiling, telling us where Mecca is (where to pray to).
