Wood that came from an olive tree...

It is almost a known fact that everyone that comes to Jerusalem has to buy some type of olive wood statue. Especially mormons, and especially BYU Jerusalem students.  So I would like to introduce you to Omar.  One of two 'carvers' who cater specifically to Mormons and BYU students.  This guy is like a legend, he's met more General Authorities than I have.  The carvings he has are beautiful, and the guy is pretty fun.  But having said that, the guy is a merchant and does like to make money, I feel like he generally gives good deals, but you know...he has to make a profit some how.  Oh and he has a University of Utah flag, ugh.
