Ma'salama Jordan...it's been fun!

Our time in Jordan is coming to a close L It is hard to believe that we are already on this side of the experience. Audry, Eduardo, and I depart Amman in a few hours to fly back to the States! While we are looking forward to being back in the States and seeing all our family and friends, it is sad to leave Jordan. It has been a wonderful year filled with new experiences (learning Arabic, coaching jr. high girls football [a.k.a. soccer], teaching music, visiting refugee camps, conducting research0, amazing sights (Petra, Jerusalem, Cairo), new friendships, adventures (camping in Wadi Rum, taking taxis in Amman, snorkeling in the Red Sea), Middle Eastern food (pita, hummus, falafel, shwarma, kanafa, mansef, maglube, Turkish coffee – I could go on and on J), and many, many opportunities to learn, grow, and change. The stories are many, the memories priceless, the pictures endless J, and the lessons learned will last a lifetime. We are truly grateful for this year of life that we got to spend living in Jordan. 
 
We are not sure what the next season of life holds for all of us, but trust that God will lead and guild us to the next place we are to be. No doubt, the adventure will continue!
