In May of 1968, the first group of 20 BYU students went on a study abroad to the Holy Land under the direction of Daniel Ludlow and his wife, Luene. A “traveling branch” of the church was organized, with Ralph Benson serving as Branch President. Special thanks to Louise Benson for providing the materials for this page.
