Did Jesus Come Here?

On Monday we went with the LDS Charities specialists visiting from Utah to see Pella where some historians believe Jesus went to spent some time before his last trip to Jerusalem.


Pella is located in the Jordan River Valley and is about an hour's drive from where we live.  We've had a lot of rain this winter so everything is beautiful and green.  Most of the fruits and vegetables for Jordan are grown here.


One of the companions of the prophet Mohammed fell in battle near Petra in 635AD.

Jesus is thought to have slept in this cave . . .


It's a beautiful place.  Early Christians came here to escape persecution. . .
