Thirty feet below the surface in the room where the christian lived for thirteen years.
Inside the monistary
A guard tower as we look across the Turkey boarder toward Mt. Ararat.
This is an old monistary where a christian spent 13 years of his life in a 15 foot room 30 feet below the surface of the ground for preaching christianity. This was built in about 300 AD. People threw food down into the pit to keep him alive. The king got sick and the people told him he wouldn't get better unless he let the christian out. The king let him out and he got well and made christianity the national religion of Armenia. Mt. Ararat is in the back ground.
We traviled a hour to get out to these missionaries home to have Family Home Evening. We all had bells to chime out a hymn. I didn't do so well.
