This is Tahir Square in Downtown Cairo. It was the most beautiful day I had seen in Egypt. I could actually breathe without my lungs crying.
As for work, Bazaar season is coming up and that is where we sell a lot of the crafts the girls make...which means I've spent a great portion of the last two weeks implementing the new tagging system and packaging all of the crafts. Cheri's English lessons are going well, which I get to enjoy because things she teaches them, they practice on me.
I also started teaching a few supplementary reading classes on Thursdays at the African Hope Primary School. I have three classes, each have three students in them. Eight of them are from Sudan, the ninth is from the Congo. They're in 6th and 7th grade and each one of them is amazing. They are (usually) so eager to learn, and they like to laugh at me when I play charades to try to explain the words they don't know.
This is the classroom. We have a fancy white board.
And, this is the incredible view from the room. I get to watch them play fight with each other and then when it's time to go in the teachers line them up and they sing praise music and dance before they come in.
We had a Young Adults Feast last night, which I lovingly referred to as "fake Thanksgiving." And, when you're cooking all day for "fake Thanksgiving," you can't not think about all the things you're thankful for.
I couldn't even begin to list all the infinite amount of things that I am thankful for. But, I hope you pray Psalms 26:6 for me: That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And declare all of Your wonders
Because every new day is filled with wonders, and I hope where ever you are, you can see the wonders in your life and are thankful.
