I've fallen in love with Jordan.
Our group split up into different homes in Madaba for a night to get a little taste of what an Arabic home is like. We performed at an Nazarene church two days in a row there and had such a great time meeting and talking to the people. I was so blessed by the family that took me and a few others of us into their home. We were welcomed in with a nice big arabic meal late at night to fill us up before bed..peta bread, humus, falafel, fresh tomatoes..mmmm and the list goes on. I could get used to that.
Although it feels like we are performing non stop-we some how have found a way to fit in the sight seeing! I'll run through the list real fast..We performed at a small camp in Gilead that looked over the Valley-so beautiful!! We went to where King Herods palace was and where John the Baptist was beheaded..and on the way up we stopped and saw where he was in prison. Mount Nebo was probably my favorite..it's the spot where God revealed the Promised Land to Moses. It was just crazy to stand there and see what Moses layed his eyes on finally after 40 years. Of course we went for a float in the Dead Sea and enjoyed a body mud mask as well.
Strangely I'm finding it easier to find each new place as home. Jordan has welcomed me in with open arms and I don't think I have the time to get enough of this land.
