We were in Israel a few years ago, and I was rather surprised by the Garden of Gethsemane. I imagined it away from the city -- like going from Salt Lake into the foothills. But it is right there in the city. I loved seeing the centuries-old olive trees that I have heard so much about. It was much smaller than I imagined. I thought that the Savior left his apostles and went quite a distance from them. Not so! Too small for that. There was a feeling of reverence there. This is one of the most sacred spots on the earth.
