life in jordan!



greetings from amman, jordan!

it has been really fun being here with my brother and mary. i love amman. i love the city, the culture, the people we have met. there is nothing better than being in a place i have never been...i love the nations! being here has been so stirring...reminded me of the desires of my heart to let go of comforts of home for the Kingdom. its so amazing to listen to drew and mary and the team speaking the language so well, laughing, joking with arab friends...i love it! my heart is bursting to learn a language and give myself to a people! someday. here are just a few pics of our time here so far...

setting up for baby claire....she has so much stuff! we are ready for her to come!



mary's baby shower! tons of amazing food, presents and DANCING! the last pic is of us laughing so hard because of how NOT good we are at arab dancing :)

we love jordan but its always nice to have a touch of home. we went to starbucks the other night...i thought of my cute barista roommate and my sister amanda. some other american things we have done: dinner at chilis, mcdonalds at the big mall, and seeing NEW MOON!

well thats all the pics i have right now...will upload some more tomorrow maybe. there is so much more to tell! well we are still waiting for baby claire! we are praying she comes soon because we can not wait to meet her!

i miss you all. SO MUCH!

LOVE LOVE LOVE to all!
