We crossed into Israel from Jordan, which took a long time. very tight security. took hours. But we made it to the River Jordan where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. This stretch of the river was not where Jesus was baptized (because where Jesus was baptized is now just a trickle because the country uses all the water), but this was where Naaman went to wash 7 times as instructed by Elisha to rid himself of Leprosy. He was reluctant, he wanted to do some great thing, but his servant convinced him to do the easy thing and he was cured.
