It's been a little over two months since I left the comfort (and complacency) of home to come to the Middle East. So far everything has been great. Yes, there have been moments of longing for home and to see the people I left behind, but in the grand scheme of things there are more times when I am excited to be here and thrilled at this opportunity that it overshadows any negative feelings I might have. Just a few months ago I would not have imagined already being where I am and being able to do what I have done. By the grace of God, however, He has thrust me into an experience I will never forget.
Recently, the family and I traveled to Jerash, which is a city that contains some Roman ruins, for a day of exploring. Another couple joined us for our trip to show us around since they had already been there. The experience, I must say, was top notch. We had a blast roaming around the ruins. Ariana had fun as well getting to walk around in the dirt and climbing on top of some of the large stones. Toward the end of our trip we went inside the amphitheater. It was pretty amazing how the design of the theater was set up so that as long as you stood in a specific spot in the middle of the floor your voice would be amplified to every seat in the house.
After we left the ruins we decided to grab something to eat. We went to a great place called the Lebanese House. They serve traditional style mezza, which is a little of this and a little of that shared by the entire group. It was enough food for all four of us with some left to take home.
The experience as I said was top notch and I couldn’t have asked for better. Until next time…
