No eye has seen, No ear has heard, No mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. I Corin 2:9 ***arrived in Egypt from Michigan USA Feb of 2010*** Departed Egypt March 2011
A story of a family from Michigan, USA who traveled to Egypt for work.....served, laughed, loved....thrived thru the Egyptian Revolution....and then returned to Michigan after the job ended abruptly due to economic conditions.

A Learning Center....volunteer day!
Missionaries are not allowed in Egypt. So finding volunteers, etc is a difficult task for a learning center! Yes a learning center is basically a school but you can't say school. What a fun day! I was so pleased to wake up and find out 4 other women were coming with me! We wrapped gifts for the graduates and then they had to go, but the kids and I took on cleaning out a horrifically monster of a mess!! We will return Sat to finish.
One of the teachers noticed our noise upstairs (who'd notice OUR noise? tee hee! if you gotta wonder, you don't know my son and I! ha!)...and came to investigate..then he caught the "spring clean fever."
that's some dirty hands!! grity and gooey - LOVE that kind of work!!
HUGE shout of appreciation to my two kids! Joshua at 8, Jasmine at 4..worked SO hard today! Misc tasks - wrapping gifts, washing nasty lego's in our tub (in their skivies - lol), taking old papers (2001-2005) out of folders and keeping the folders, trashing the papers.....4 hrs today!! Always with a happy attitude!
SO PROUD!!
Did we have school today? YOU BET! We learned that it's better to give than to receive!! Giving of our hearts and time!!
BLESS THE LORD!!! HIS GREATNESS NEVER ENDS!!!
