Church in Tiberias

We had a special “Feast” and testimony meeting at the only LDS chapel in the Middle east: Tiberias. It is a small but beautiful house that has been converted into a chapel and overlooks the Sea of Galilee. It was a beautiful view to look at as people bore their testimony of Christ and his ministry. One of the things shared in the testimonies that really stuck with me was a simple statement that someone said stating that they felt that their character has been strengthened just as much as their testimony as they have learned about Christ and his ministry. Brother Ostler added that this is probably because your testimony is now a part of your character. I really do feel like I am a better person through the course of these last few weeks. Preach My Gospel says, "Just as vital as what you do is who you are" Anyone could take a trip like this and do all of the sites, but whatt is most important is that you leave a better person - more like the Savior.
